Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2604:
--------------------------------------

> it'd be nice to iterate on the keys of a MapFile without actually reading the 
> data

SequenceFile supports that, so it shouldn't be too hard to add a 
next(WritableComparable) method to the MapFile API, right?

> [hbase] Create an HBase-specific MapFile implementation

> Today, HBase uses the Hadoop MapFile class to store data persistently to 
> disk. This is convenient, as it's already done (and maintained by other 
> people :). However, it's beginning to look like there might be possible 
> performance benefits to be had from doing an HBase-specific implementation of 
> MapFile that incorporated some precise features.
> This issue should serve as a place to track discussion about what features 
> might be included in such an implementation.
