Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-10342: --------------------------------------- I was just thinking about this and was about to file a Jira with the idea. Then I came across this. I take it that nothing has happened here... :) This would be useful in many scenarios (prefix bloomfilters can be used for seeks) and perhaps specifically for Phoenix, which never uses Get's anywhere. [~jamestaylor], [~apurtell] One could start with something simple that simply defines a fix length prefix... Perhaps allow loading a transformer class or something. > RowKey Prefix Bloom Filter > -------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-10342 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10342 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Liyin Tang > Priority: Major > > When designing HBase schema for some use cases, it is quite common to combine > multiple information within the RowKey. For instance, assuming that rowkey is > constructed as md5(id1) + id1 + id2, and user wants to scan all the rowkeys > which starting by id1. In such case, the rowkey bloom filter is able to cut > more unnecessary seeks during the scan. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
