> There are a number of use cases where exposing the ability to not cache
> blocks during a scan would be valuable. For example, running row counts.
> The LRU is scan-resistant, so it does provide some protection already, but
> even in that case all you prevent is the eviction of hot blocks. The LRU
> still runs many evictions and the blocks are referenced for much longer
> periods of time, so this adds enormous stress to the GC.
> Compactions already do this. This issue is about exposing that as a switch
> to the client-side Scan object (will also enable it for MR jobs then).
