Michael Segel commented on HBASE-12853:
----------------------------------------
@Sean,
As I have said before... Apache doesn't indemnify committers (actually its the
reverse) and there is no upside for me to offset the risk.
In a nutshell it would be pointless in having a discussion on why I used the
term trivial and why I rated this as a low priority.
BTW, there are 11 watchers... why don't you ask those watchers who are also
committers and leaders of the HBase project, why they didn't raise the
priority?
I don't wish to seem rude, but if you're going to lecture someone, you had
better realize that some will ignore you, others will mock you...
To your point, this was the first JIRA that I raised. I assumed that those who
volunteer their time would also take the time to assess the value of the
suggestion. Clearly not. That was my mistake.
To be honest, I lack the patience to suffer fools...

> Project: HBase

>
> In reviewing HBASE-11682 (Description of Hot Spotting), one of the issues is
> that while 'salting' alleviated regional hot spotting, it increased the
> complexity required to utilize the data.
> Through the use of coprocessors, it should be possible to offer a method
> which distributes the data on write across the cluster and then manages
> reading the data returning a sort ordered result set, abstracting the
> underlying process.
> On table creation, a flag is set to indicate that this is a parallel table.
> On insert in to the table, if the flag is set to true then a prefix is added
> to the key. e.g. <region server#>- or <region server #|| where the region
> server # is an integer between 1 and the number of region servers defined.
> On read (scan) for each region server defined, a separate scan is created
> adding the prefix. Since each scan will be in sort order, its possible to
> strip the prefix and return the lowest value key from each of the subsets.
