Lars Hofhansl updated HBASE-5229: --------------------------------- Attachment: 5229-endpoint.txt Here's what I had in mind. The patch is essentially the same (a slight refactoring of the mutateRow code), but without changes to HTable[Interface], HRegionServer, HRegionInterface, etc. mutateRowsWithLocks is now public on HRegion so that coprocessor endpoints have access to it. The test classes MultiRowMutation{Protocol|Endpoint} illustrate how one could write a coprocessor using this feature. (I could move these two to HBase proper into org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor). TestFromClientSide.testMultiRowMutation illustrates how this would look from a client. Since coprocessor already are region aware, this is a nice match of APIs. I think this addresses all objections I have noted so far. Please have a look and let me know what you think. I would like to commit this version (or one very similar to it). > Explore building blocks for "multi-row" local transactions. > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5229 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5229 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: client, regionserver > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > Assignee: Lars Hofhansl > Fix For: 0.94.0 > > Attachments: 5229-endpoint.txt, 5229-multiRow-v2.txt, > 5229-multiRow.txt, 5229-seekto-v2.txt, 5229-seekto.txt, 5229.txt > > > HBase should provide basic building blocks for multi-row local transactions. > Local means that we do this by co-locating the data. Global (cross region) > transactions are not discussed here. > After a bit of discussion two solutions have emerged: > 1. Keep the row-key for determining grouping and location and allow efficient > intra-row scanning. A client application would then model tables as > HBase-rows. > 2. Define a prefix-length in HTableDescriptor that defines a grouping of > rows. Regions will then never be split inside a grouping prefix. > #1 is true to the current storage paradigm of HBase. > #2 is true to the current client side API. > I will explore these two with sample patches here. > -------------------- > Was: > As discussed (at length) on the dev mailing list with the HBASE-3584 and > HBASE-5203 committed, supporting atomic cross row transactions within a > region becomes simple. > I am aware of the hesitation about the usefulness of this feature, but we > have to start somewhere. > Let's use this jira for discussion, I'll attach a patch (with tests) > momentarily to make this concrete. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
