Enis Soztutar updated HBASE-7716: --------------------------------- Attachment: Entity Groups in HBase.txt I've collected some of my thoughts here. Would love to hear feedback, discuss feasibility, etc. > Row Groups / Row Family / Entity Groups in HBase > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-7716 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7716 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Client, regionserver > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.98.0 > > Attachments: Entity Groups in HBase.txt > > > This issue is to discuss the possible addition to the HBase data model for > "Row Groups". > As we are nearing 1.0, discussing this for 0.98 seems the right time, > especially given that we have custom region split policies, local > transactions, and API overhaul around data types -> bytes. > Row Groups are semantic groupings of rows in the Hbase data model. All rows > within a given row group share the same row group key. > Row groups are similar to column families in HBase or locality groups in > BigTable, but transposed to rows instead of columns. All the rows within a > row group physically belong together, and served by a single region. This > means that region boundaries cannot split the row group. > Row groups are not predefined, and are dynamic. There can be one row group > per row. > Row keys are fully optional, and backwards compatible. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
