Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4552: ------------------------------- One solution is to add the following method to HRegionInterface: {code} public void bulkLoadHFile(List<Pair<byte[], String>> familyPaths, byte[] regionName) throws IOException; {code} familyPaths is a list of <family, hfilePath> pairs for the same region identified by regionName. LoadIncrementalHFiles would need to group HFiles for the same region together before calling the above method. > multi-CF bulk load is not atomic across column families > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4552 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4552 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.92.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > > Currently the bulk load API simply imports one HFile at a time. With > multi-column-family support, this is inappropriate, since different CFs show > up separately. Instead, the IPC endpoint should take a of CF -> HFiles, so we > can online them all under a single region-wide lock. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
