Eshcar Hillel updated HBASE-13071:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
A scan operation iterates over all rows of a table or a subrange of the table. 
The synchronous nature in which the data is served at the client side hinders 
the speed the application traverses the data: it increases the overall 
processing time, and may cause a great variance in the times the application 
waits for the next piece of data.

The scanner next() method at the client side invokes an RPC to the regionserver 
and then stores the results in a cache. The application can specify how many 
rows will be transmitted per RPC; by default this is set to 100 rows. 
The cache can be considered as a producer-consumer queue, where the hbase 
client pushes the data to the queue and the application consumes it. Currently 
this queue is synchronous, i.e., blocking. More specifically, when the 
application consumed all the data from the cache ---so the cache is empty --- 
the hbase client retrieves additional data from the server and re-fills the 
cache with new data. During this time the application is blocked.

Under the assumption that the application processing time can be balanced by 
the time it takes to retrieve the data, an asynchronous approach can reduce the 
time the application is waiting for data.

We attach a design document.
We also have a patch that is based on a private branch, and some evaluation 
results of this code.
