Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-9440: ------------------------------------- Makes sense. How would you implement this -- provide new interfaces for {{BulkGet}}, {{BulkScan}} ? > Pass blocks of KVs from HFile scanner to the StoreFileScanner and up > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-9440 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9440 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > > Currently we read KVs from an HFileScanner one-by-one and pass them up the > scanner/heap tree. Many time the ranges of KVs retrieved from > StoreFileScanner (by StoreScanners) and HFileScanner (by StoreFileScanner) > will be non-overlapping. If chunks of KVs do not overlap we can sort entire > chunks just by comparing the start/end key of the chunk. Only if chunks are > overlapping do we need to sort KV by KV as we do now. > I have no patch, but I wanted to float this idea. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
