Add support for INCLUDE_AND_SEEK_USING_HINT
-------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5512
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5512
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Zhihong Yu
This came up from HBASE-2038
>From Anoop:
- What we wanted from the filter is include a row and then seek to the next row
which we are interested in. I cant see such a facility with our Filter right
now. Correct me if I am wrong. So suppose we already seeked to one row and this
need to be included in the result, then the Filter should return INCLUDE. Then
when the next next() call happens, then only we can return a SEEK_USING_HINT.
So one extra row reading is needed. This might create even one unwanted
HFileBlock fetch (who knows).
Can we add reseek() at higher level?
>From Lars:
Yep, for that we'd need to add INCLUDE_AND_SEEK_USING_HINT (similar to the
INCLUDE_AND_SEEK_NEXT_ROW that we already have). Shouldn't be hard to add, I'm
happy to do that, if that's the route we want to go with this.
