Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-10884:
----------------------------------------
Test failure is not related, will commit soon.
Ping [~stack] and [~lhofhansl], I'm going to assume no objection to trivial
patch and perf improvement, but limited to REST use cases.
> [REST] Do not disable block caching when scanning

> 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.
