Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-10884: ---------------------------------------- bq. Any plan to expose this scanner setting to the user via API? Sure, HBASE-10952 > [REST] Do not disable block caching when scanning > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-10884 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10884 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.98.1, 0.96.1.1, 0.94.18 > Reporter: Andrew Purtell > Assignee: Andrew Purtell > Attachments: HBASE-10884.patch > > > The REST gateway pessimistically disables block caching when issuing Scans to > the cluster, using Scan#setCacheBlocks(false) in ScannerResultGenerator. It > does not do this when issuing Gets on behalf of HTTP clients in > RowResultGenerator. This is an old idea now, the reasons for doing so lost > sometime back in the era when HBase walked the earth with dinosaurs (< 0.20). > We probably should not be penalizing REST scans in this way. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
