Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-6427: -------------------------------------- Upon further scrutiny, that would actually not work, because any external code would have no knowledge about the internal memstoreTSs. Perhaps a better option would be to make the expiration policy of a column family pluggable. That way TTL and # versions could be controlled from the outside. > Pluggable policy for smallestReadPoint in HRegion > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6427 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6427 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > Priority: Minor > > When implementing higher level stores on top of HBase it is necessary to > allow dynamic control over how long KVs must be kept around. > Semi-static config options for ColumnFamilies (# of version or TTL) is not > sufficient. > The simplest way to achieve this is to have a pluggable class to determine > the smallestReadpoint for Region. That way outside code can control what KVs > to retain. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
