Nicolas Liochon commented on HBASE-8323:
----------------------------------------

I saw it while looking at a server. The class NativeCrc32 is not public in 
hadoop common, (while PureJavaCrc32C is public, in the java & hadoop meanings 
of the terms). The easiest way for HBase would be to reuse directly 
NativeCrc32...  [~t...@lipcon.org], is there any problem if NativeCrc32 becomes 
public, or at least LimitedPrivate?

> Over at Hadoop land, [~tlipcon] had done some improvements for checksums, a 
> native implementation for CRC32C (HADOOP-7445) and bulk verify of checksums 
> (HADOOP-7444). 
> In HBase, we can do
>  - Also develop a bulk verify API. Regardless of 
> hbase.hstore.bytes.per.checksum we always want to verify of the whole 
> checksum for the hfile block.
>  - Enable NativeCrc32 to be used as a checksum algo. It is not clear how much 
> gain we can expect over pure java CRC32. 
> Though, longer term we should focus on convincing hdfs guys for inline 
> checksums (HDFS-2699)
