Brian Beggs commented on HBASE-1400:
------------------------------------
Andy,
I was just going through the spec and I had wanted to ask about the formatting
of the cell or row query for multiple values.
The sample xml on the page is as follows:
{code:xml}
<CellSet>
<Cell row="testrow" column="test:c1" timestamp="1128765413420141">
VGhpcyBpcyBhbiBleGFtcGxlIHZhbHVlLgo=
</Cell>
</CellSet>
{code}
I was thinking it would be more efficient to do something like this:
{code:xml}
<CellSet>
<row >
<rowName>
Base64 Encoded Row Name
</rowName>
<Cell column="test:c1" timestamp="1128765413420141">
VGhpcyBpcyBhbiBleGFtcGxlIHZhbHVlLgo=
</Cell>
</row>
</CellSet>
{code}
This would probably be better as it would cut down on the size of the
deliverable. Could maybe put the row name in as an attribute but I'm not sure
how well that will work with a base 64 encoded value. Also the column name
should come out base64 encoded as well.
What do you think?

>
> Improve the semantics of the REST interface: more metadata operations, bulk
> updates, protobufs (if Accept equals "application/x-protobuf" for GET or
> Content-Type equals the same for PUT or POST) instead of multipart/related
> (which is not supported now anyway) etc. for general efficiency and support
> for queries or scanners that return multiple KeyValues.
> I am working on a proposal.
