Github user JamesRTaylor commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/phoenix/pull/156#issuecomment-205637233 Thanks for the patch, @chrajeshbabu. This is a big improvement over your initial approach. It's still complex, though. There's an on going cost to complicating the code to this degree that would be good to minimize. One big thing missing is an overview of all the moving parts. Perhaps that could live in BaseResultIterators? For example - this exception is thrown under these conditions and this state is added to the scan to know how to adjust the scan ranges, etc. etc. Especially that hasReferences bit in the coprocessor - what's that all about? I'd like to understand how ChunkedResultIterator complicates things too. I think it'd be ok to document that splits during aggregate queries aren't handled if your HBase version is less that XXX if it'd significantly simplify this patch (as that code is essentially deprecated). Another potential, different approach would be for Phoenix to universally handle the split during scan case (rather than letting the HBase client scanner handle it for non aggregate case and Phoenix handle it for the aggregate case). Would that simplify things?
