Lars George commented on HBASE-8946:
------------------------------------
Wait...
bq. * Exhausted scanners are closed automatically.
This actually relates to HBASE-8852. Come to think of it, it seems to be a good
idea to reopen the discussion on this. I mean, if we were to close and release
the scanners when they exhausted, it would save an additional RPC call. But
then what about loops where you do not know you are at the end? I think what we
have now, with your addition, and the true open + get + close calls we should
be good. If we then add HBASE-3852 to take care of those where the user choses
path C, i.e. open + get but without a close, we should be good. Any opinions?
> Add a new function to Thrift 2 to open scanner, get results and close scanner

> We found, very often we open a scanner , get x number of rows , then close
> the scanner immediately. The attached patch , add a new function
> *getScannerResults* that does just that.
> Using getScannerResults function reduce number of calls to thrift server.
> Also since the scanner gets closed immediately, it is less prone to cause
> memory leak.
