------------------------------------
Summary: BLOCKCACHE in schema descriptor seems not aptly named
Key: HBASE-11007
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11007
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.94.18
Reporter: Varun Sharma
Assignee: Varun Sharma
Priority: Minor
Hi,
It seems that setting BLOCKCACHE key to false will disable the Data blocks from
being cached but will continue to cache bloom and index blocks. This same
property seems to be called cacheDataOnRead inside CacheConfig.
Should this be called CACHE_DATA_ON_READ instead of BLOCKCACHE similar to the
other CACHE_DATA_ON_WRITE/CACHE_INDEX_ON_WRITE. We got quite confused and ended
up adding our own property CACHE_DATA_ON_READ - we also added some unit tests
for the same.
What do folks think about this ?
Thanks
Varun
