Ted Yu commented on HBASE-5416: ------------------------------- Thanks for doing the experiments, Lars. Can you take a look at the use case shown in the test in the patch to see if it matches the way you did experiment ? > Improve performance of scans with some kind of filters. > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5416 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5416 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Filters, Performance, regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.90.4 > Reporter: Max Lapan > Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin > Fix For: 0.96.0 > > Attachments: 5416-0.94-v1.txt, 5416-Filtered_scans_v6.patch, > 5416-v13.patch, 5416-v5.txt, 5416-v6.txt, Filtered_scans.patch, > Filtered_scans_v2.patch, Filtered_scans_v3.patch, Filtered_scans_v4.patch, > Filtered_scans_v5.1.patch, Filtered_scans_v5.patch, Filtered_scans_v7.patch, > HBASE-5416-v10.patch, HBASE-5416-v11.patch, HBASE-5416-v12.patch, > HBASE-5416-v12.patch, HBASE-5416-v7-rebased.patch, HBASE-5416-v8.patch, > HBASE-5416-v9.patch > > > When the scan is performed, whole row is loaded into result list, after that > filter (if exists) is applied to detect that row is needed. > But when scan is performed on several CFs and filter checks only data from > the subset of these CFs, data from CFs, not checked by a filter is not needed > on a filter stage. Only when we decided to include current row. And in such > case we can significantly reduce amount of IO performed by a scan, by loading > only values, actually checked by a filter. > For example, we have two CFs: flags and snap. Flags is quite small (bunch of > megabytes) and is used to filter large entries from snap. Snap is very large > (10s of GB) and it is quite costly to scan it. If we needed only rows with > some flag specified, we use SingleColumnValueFilter to limit result to only > small subset of region. But current implementation is loading both CFs to > perform scan, when only small subset is needed. > Attached patch adds one routine to Filter interface to allow filter to > specify which CF is needed to it's operation. In HRegion, we separate all > scanners into two groups: needed for filter and the rest (joined). When new > row is considered, only needed data is loaded, filter applied, and only if > filter accepts the row, rest of data is loaded. At our data, this speeds up > such kind of scans 30-50 times. Also, this gives us the way to better > normalize the data into separate columns by optimizing the scans performed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
