Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-13389:
---------------------------------------
I think we had comment overlap. :)
bq. ...you are not against changing sort order so that seqid prevails over type
are you...?
I would actually be against it, since it breaks the fact that all mutations in
HBase are idempotent - when the client encounters any problem with a batch of
updates, it can just do those again, and the outcome would be identical -
within the limits of what HBase defines, i.e. with ms resolution, now we would
complicate that, and need explaining to do.
So with the discussion above in place, can be lower the default time to 3 days?
So that we can be reasonably sure that major compactions would purge the mvcc
cruft?

> HBASE-12600 moved the edit sequenceid from tags to instead exploit the
> mvcc/sequenceid slot in a key. Now Cells near-always have an associated
> mvcc/sequenceid where previous it was rare or the mvcc was kept up at the
> file level. This is sort of how it should be many of us would argue but as a
> side-effect of this change, read-time optimizations that helped speed scans
> were undone by this change.
> In this issue, lets see if we can get the optimizations back -- or just
> remove the optimizations altogether.
> The parse of mvcc/sequenceid is expensive. It was noticed over in HBASE-13291.
> The optimizations undone by this changes are (to quote the optimizer himself,
> Mr [~lhofhansl]):
> {quote}
> Looks like this undoes all of HBASE-9751, HBASE-8151, and HBASE-8166.
> We're always storing the mvcc readpoints, and we never compare them against
> the actual smallestReadpoint, and hence we're always performing all the
> checks, tests, and comparisons that these jiras removed in addition to
> actually storing the data - which with up to 8 bytes per Cell is not trivial.
