Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-4608: --------------------------------------- bq. The current bottleneck to HBase write speed is replicating the WAL appends across different datanodes. A different and complimentary avenue of attack for this issue is HDFS-1783. > HLog Compression > ---------------- > > Key: HBASE-4608 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4608 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Li Pi > Assignee: Li Pi > > The current bottleneck to HBase write speed is replicating the WAL appends > across different datanodes. We can speed up this process by compressing the > HLog. Current plan involves using a dictionary to compress table name, region > id, cf name, and possibly other bits of repeated data.
