stack commented on HBASE-2468:
------------------------------
Hmm... if you can't scan the whole table, then this patch gets more complicated
I believe. You'll need to prefix the scan with a getClosestsRowBefore to find
where to start the short scan of the next N items. Also, the way that
rowUpperLimit works in this patch seems like it might be broke. We'll only
ever get the first rowUpperLimit items in the table... is that right?

> A couple different use cases cause storms of reads to META during startup.
> For example, a large MR job will cause each map task to hit meta since it
> starts with an empty cache.
> A couple possible improvements have been proposed:
> - MR jobs could ship a copy of META for the table in the DistributedCache
> - Clients could prewarm cache by doing a large scan of all the meta for the
> table instead of random reads for each miss
> - Each miss could fetch ahead some number of rows in META
