Thanx for replying.... Well the problem is this. I have a distributed setup of hbase over hadoop(a cluster of 3). I have loaded around 4 millions entries into my hbase. Now i want to read on it.(read a set of entries) Reading sequentially adds on the performance. I want really good performance (i mean retrieval should be well within 10 ms per entry on an average) So i thought of trying out the bulk read (but no such function on the hbase api) so i resorted to threads...created one htable instance per thread and did a get on the same table in parallel. But still the performance doesn't seem to get effected. Are u sure that the hbase treats them parallely or does it handle them sequentially even when thr are parallel request.
Nyways wat is a good performance on a hbase...Any other way to improve on this performance... Can multiple instances of hbase be created (and not HTable as All the HTables are seem to be using the same connection i mean HConnection object). Would be great if you could help me on this...and clear my concepts
