Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-9778:
--------------------------------------
Some more numbers with other hardcoded improvements indicate that some Phoenix
queries can run over 3x as fast (8.8s instead of 27s).
The challenge is now to keep the improvements from HBASE-4433 while also
improve other scenarios. A new config option is probably not avoidable.
> Avoid seeking to next column in ExplicitColumnTracker when possible

> The issue of slow seeking in ExplicitColumnTracker was brought up by
> [~vrodionov] on the dev list.
> My idea here is to avoid the seeking if we know that there aren't many
> versions to skip.
> How do we know? We'll use the column family's VERSIONS setting as a hint. If
> VERSIONS is set to 1 (or maybe some value < 10) we'll avoid the seek and call
> SKIP repeatedly.
> HBASE-9769 has some initial number for this approach:
> Interestingly it depends on which column(s) is (are) selected.
> Some numbers: 4m rows, 5 cols each, 1 cf, 10 bytes values, VERSIONS=1,
> everything filtered at the server with a ValueFilter. Everything measured in
> seconds.
> Without patch:
> ||Wildcard||Col 1||Col 2||Col 4||Col 5||Col 2+4||
> |6.4|8.5|14.3|14.6|11.1|20.3|
> With patch:
> ||Wildcard||Col 1||Col 2||Col 4||Col 5||Col 2+4||
> |6.4|8.4|8.9|9.9|6.4|10.0|
> Variation here was +- 0.2s.
> So with this patch scanning is 2x faster than without in some cases, and
> never slower. No special hint needed, beyond declaring VERSIONS correctly.
