Lars Francke resolved HBASE-3879. --------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate > Add way to control the split position of region > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-3879 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3879 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: regionserver > Reporter: Ophir Cohen > Priority: Minor > > Currently the split point picked to be the mid key of the HFile. > From the code comments: > "Midkey for this file. We work with block boundaries only so > * returned midkey is an approximation only." > It could be good to have a way to override the default option and use other > method. > Possible implementation: > Create interface (similar to Hadoop's partitioner) that gets StoreFile / > StoreFile.Reader and return the splitting point. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
