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 > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2604 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2604 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/hbase > Reporter: Bryan Duxbury > Priority: Minor > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
