Phabricator commented on HBASE-5074: ------------------------------------ tedyu has commented on the revision "[jira] [HBASE-5074] Support checksums in HBase block cache". INLINE COMMENTS src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/io/hfile/HFileBlock.java:257 Quoting Dhruba's reply: Yes, if we bump the major version to V3, then we can restart minorVersions from 0. So how do we support major version 3, minor version 0 with checksum feature ?

This means that every read into the > HBase block cache actually consumes two disk iops, one to the datafile and > one to the checksum file. This is a major problem for scaling HBase, because > HBase is usually bottlenecked on the number of random disk iops that the > storage-hardware offers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
