Wouter Bolsterlee commented on HBASE-7826: ------------------------------------------ Is it really safe to convert a previously required field to an optional one? Parsers using the old definition file might unconditionally expect the field when handling input generated using the newer definitions. > Improve Hbase Thrift v1 to return results in sorted order > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7826 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7826 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Thrift > Affects Versions: 0.94.0 > Reporter: Shivendra Pratap Singh > Assignee: Shivendra Pratap Singh > Priority: Minor > Labels: Hbase, Thrift > Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.95.2, 0.94.11 > > Attachments: 7826-v6.patch, HBASE-7826-0.94-v7.patch, > hbase_7826.patch, hbase_7826.patch, HBASE-7826.patch, > hbase_7826_sortcolumnFlag.1.patch, hbase_7826_sortcolumnFlag.2.patch, > hbase_7826_sortcolumnFlag.3.patch, hbase_7826_sortcolumnFlag.4.patch, > hbase_7826_sortcolumnFlag.5.patch, hbase_7826_sortcolumnFlag.patch, > hbase_7826_trunk.patch > > > Hbase natively stores columns sorted based on the column qualifier. A scan is > guaranteed to return sorted columns. The Java API works fine but the Thrift > API is broken. Hbase uses TreeMap that ensures that sort order is maintained. > However Hbase thrift specification uses a simple Map to store the data. A > map, since it is unordered doesn't result in columns being returned in a sort > order that is consistent with their storage in Hbase. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
