Lars has bravely volunteered to be our RM for our next release with an aim to help us get on a monthly release cadence. Big +1 from me. We have a few features teed up on the encodecolumns branch:
PHOENIX-1598 Encode column names to save space and improve performance PHOENIX-2565 Store data for immutable tables in single KeyValue These have both been implemented in a b/w compatible manner. Existing tables would continue to work as-is and new tables would take advantage of these new formats. A couple of other important JIRAs that I know about are: PHOENIX-2995 Write performance severely degrades with large number of views PHOENIX-2724 Query with large number of guideposts is slower compared to no stats Hopefully these can make it in, but it'd be up to the digression of the RM, of course. Thanks, James
