Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-13389:
---------------------------------------
Sure. After discussions we had ([~stack], [~apurtell], and I) I think we can
reinstate my original code, where we check against the oldest running scanner
and if all Cell in an HFile are older than that scaner (in terms of MVCC
timestamp) we can set them to 0 and not store them upon compaction.
The observation being that we only need MVCC stamps in the HFile to cover
flushes/compactions that happen while a current scanner is running.
All other cases we should be covering with metadata in the HFiles trailer, not
on individual Cells.
[~jeffreyz], do you agree? HBASE-12600 changed that, and I bet you had a very
good reason.

> 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.
