How to use hbase.client.scanner.caching?

[Vincent Barat]

Hello,

I'm working on optimizing the HBase loader for PIG. To do so, I use 
the HTable.setScannerCaching() call and it works well, but it 
requires to modify the Java source code of PIG.

Thus, I've tried instead to use the hbase.client.scanner.caching 
property in my HBase config files (and also on the Java command line 
of my test program) but there nothing I can do to change the default 
setting (always 1).

Here is what I have in hbase-default.xml:

  <property>
    <name>hbase.client.scanner.caching</Name>
    <value>1000</value>
  </property>

Is there something I missed ?

Cheers,
