Hello, folks, Iโm a former *HBase contributor* who stepped away nearly five years ago. For those unfamiliar with my work, I was behind *Incremental Backup and Restore* and *Distributed MOB Compactions*.
Since then, my focus has shifted to *data caching technologies*, leading to the development of *Carrot Cache (a new Java caching library)* and *Memcarrot (a Memcached-compatible caching server)*, both available here: ๐ *Carrot Data GitHub <https://www.github.com/carrotdata>* *Long story short*โI originally built the *HBase Row Cache* and even presented it at an HBase conference. Recently, I gave it a *major refresh*, updating dependencies to include *Carrot Cache* and the latest *HBase/Hadoop 2.x*. ๐ *HBase Row Cache Repository:* hbase-row-cache <https://www.github.com/VladRodionov/hbase-row-cache> *(Please take a look!)* HBase Row Cache is an implementation of the *original BigTable ScanCache*, which is *still missing in HBase* (?). It is designed as an *HBase Region Coprocessor*. *Question for the community:* Would there be interest in bringing this into the *main source*? I donโt want to spend time polishing a feature if thereโs little demand. Looking forward to your thoughts! Best regards, *Vladimir Rodionov*
