stack commented on HBASE-8496: ------------------------------ I suppose bottom-line, can we not just do Cells rather than KV-with-tags? The same problems have to be solved (basically). If Cells, you'll get your tags carried along for you. Your CPs could then exploit them when present. The serialization could be your proposed KV-with-tags-on-the-end but when we touch hfile, can we pass cellblocks and read cellblocks (encoding and/or compression could be metadata in hfile -- I suppose this means one encoding/compression per file which is probably fine. Compressed/encoded blocks in memory would have to be accessed w/ CellScanner... would need resettable CellScanner though I suppose. > Implement tags and the internals of how a tag should look like > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8496 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8496 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Fix For: 0.98.0 > > Attachments: Tag design.pdf > > > The intent of this JIRA comes from HBASE-7897. > This would help us to decide on the structure and format of how the tags > should look like. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
