jirapos...@reviews.apache.org commented on HBASE-4608: ------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail. To reply, visit: https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#review3093 ----------------------------------------------------------- Cool stuff. I am probably just missing something... But when is the dictionary itself stored? Don't we need to read out the logs again. Just so I understand: We build up the dictionary as we go along. In the beginning most things won't be in the dictionary, we write them out and add them to the dict, and from that time on when we encounter them again we just write the index. On the read we could also build up the dict as we go along, because when values weren't in the dictionary they where written into the file, so we can recreate the dictionary as we read. Right? (As I said, I am probably missing something). See minor comments inline. src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/KeyValue.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#comment6899> This is functionally the same as before, but less readable. I don't think this leads to much performance improvement. src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/CompressedKeyValue.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#comment6900> I think we leave out the line with the year now. Lot's of leading whitespace and weird indentation in this file. src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/CompressedKeyValue.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#comment6901> passing 0 here? I might be missing something, but looking down at readCompressed that looks wrong. src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/WALEdit.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#comment6902> Could we have a no-op compressor instead? - Lars On 2011-11-07 23:12:37, Li Pi wrote: bq. bq. ----------------------------------------------------------- bq.

Things are written, and "should work". I need to rework the test cases to test this, and put something in the config file to enable/disable. Obviously this isn't ready for commit at the moment, but I can get those two things done pretty quickly. bq. bq. Obviously the dictionary is incredibly simple at the moment, I'll come up with something cooler sooner. Let me know how this looks. bq. bq. bq.
