Karthik Ranganathan commented on HBASE-6770: -------------------------------------------- Hey Terry, we're not working actively on the trunk port... [~saint....@gmail.com] would be able to tell you if some is. If you are interested in trying to port the patch, I can definitely help out with reviews. > Allow scanner setCaching to specify size instead of number of rows > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-6770 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6770 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Client, regionserver > Reporter: Karthik Ranganathan > Assignee: Chen Jin > > Currently, we have the following api's to customize the behavior of scans: > setCaching() - how many rows to cache on client to speed up scans > setBatch() - max columns per row to return per row to prevent a very large > response. > Ideally, we should be able to specify a memory buffer size because: > 1. that would take care of both of these use cases. > 2. it does not need any knowledge of the size of the rows or cells, as the > final thing we are worried about is the available memory. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
