Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-8369: -------------------------------------- bq. If you make a 0.94 patch I'll offer to try on a real cluster Will do a backport soon. Thanks for the offer. [~andrew.purt...@gmail.com] Let me write up something. Please feel free to add / edit. > MapReduce over snapshot files > ----------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8369 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8369 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapreduce, snapshots > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.98.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-8369-0.94.patch, HBASE-8369-0.94_v2.patch, > HBASE-8369-0.94_v3.patch, HBASE-8369-0.94_v4.patch, HBASE-8369-0.94_v5.patch, > HBASE-8369-trunk_v1.patch, HBASE-8369-trunk_v2.patch, > HBASE-8369-trunk_v3.patch, hbase-8369_v0.patch, hbase-8369_v5.patch, > hbase-8369_v6.patch > > > The idea is to add an InputFormat, which can run the mapreduce job over > snapshot files directly bypassing hbase server layer. The IF is similar in > usage to TableInputFormat, taking a Scan object from the user, but instead of > running from an online table, it runs from a table snapshot. We do one split > per region in the snapshot, and open an HRegion inside the RecordReader. A > RegionScanner is used internally for doing the scan without any HRegionServer > bits. > Users have been asking and searching for ways to run MR jobs by reading > directly from hfiles, so this allows new use cases if reading from stale data > is ok: > - Take snapshots periodically, and run MR jobs only on snapshots. > - Export snapshots to remote hdfs cluster, run the MR jobs at that cluster > without HBase cluster. > - (Future use case) Combine snapshot data with online hbase data: Scan from > yesterday's snapshot, but read today's data from online hbase cluster. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
