 This is an idea that Ryan and I have been kicking around on and off for a 
 while now.
 If regionnames were made of tablename+endrow instead of tablename+startrow, 
 then in the metatables, doing a search for the region that contains the 
 wanted row, we'd just have to open a scanner using passed row and the first 
 row found by the scan would be that of the region we need (If offlined 
 parent, we'd have to scan to the next row).
 If we redid the meta tables in this format, we'd be using an access that is 
 natural to hbase, a scan as opposed to the perverse, expensive 
 getClosestRowBefore we currently have that has to walk backward in meta 
 finding a containing region.
 This issue is about changing the way we name regions.
 If we were using scans, prewarming client cache would be near costless (as 
 opposed to what we'll currently have to do which is first a 
 getClosestRowBefore and then a scan from the closestrowbefore forward).
 Converting to the new method, we'd have to run a migration on startup 
 changing the content in meta.
 Up to this, the randomid component of a region name has been the timestamp of 
 region creation.   HBASE-2531 32-bit encoding of regionnames waaay 
 too susceptible to hash clashes proposes changing the randomid so that it 
 contains actual name of the directory in the filesystem that hosts the 
 region.  If we had this in place, I think it would help with the migration to 
 this new way of doing the meta because as is, the region name in fs is a hash 
 of regionname... changing the format of the regionname would mean we generate 
 a different hash... so we'd need hbase-2531 to be in place before we could do 
 this change.

 This is an idea that Ryan and I have been kicking around on and off for a 
 while now.
 If regionnames were made of tablename+endrow instead of tablename+startrow, 
 then in the metatables, doing a search for the region that contains the 
 wanted row, we'd just have to open a scanner using passed row and the first 
 row found by the scan would be that of the region we need (If offlined 
 parent, we'd have to scan to the next row).
 If we redid the meta tables in this format, we'd be using an access that is 
 natural to hbase, a scan as opposed to the perverse, expensive 
 getClosestRowBefore we currently have that has to walk backward in meta 
 finding a containing region.
 This issue is about changing the way we name regions.
 If we were using scans, prewarming client cache would be near costless (as 
 opposed to what we'll currently have to do which is first a 
 getClosestRowBefore and then a scan from the closestrowbefore forward).
 Converting to the new method, we'd have to run a migration on startup 
 changing the content in meta.
 Up to this, the randomid component of a region name has been the timestamp of 
 region creation.   HBASE-2531 32-bit encoding of regionnames waaay 
 too susceptible to hash clashes proposes changing the randomid so that it 
 contains actual name of the directory in the filesystem that hosts the 
 region.  If we had this in place, I think it would help with the migration to 
 this new way of doing the meta because as is, the region name in fs is a hash 
 of regionname... changing the format of the regionname would mean we generate 
 a different hash... so we'd need hbase-2531 to be in place before we could do 
 this change.

 This is an idea that Ryan and I have been kicking around on and off for a 
 while now.
 If regionnames were made of tablename+endrow instead of tablename+startrow, 
 then in the metatables, doing a search for the region that contains the 
 wanted row, we'd just have to open a scanner using passed row and the first 
 row found by the scan would be that of the region we need (If offlined 
 parent, we'd have to scan to the next row).
 If we redid the meta tables in this format, we'd be using an access that is 
 natural to hbase, a scan as opposed to the perverse, expensive 
 getClosestRowBefore we currently have that has to walk backward in meta 
 finding a containing region.
 This issue is about changing the way we name regions.
 If we were using scans, prewarming client cache would be near costless (as 
 opposed to what we'll currently have to do which is first a 
 getClosestRowBefore and then a scan from the closestrowbefore forward).
 Converting to the new method, we'd have to run a migration on startup 
 changing the content in meta.
 Up to this, the randomid component of a region name has been the timestamp of 
 region creation.   HBASE-2531 32-bit encoding of regionnames waaay 
 too susceptible to hash clashes proposes changing the randomid so that it 
 contains actual name of the directory in the filesystem that hosts the 
 region.  If we had this in place, I think it would help with the migration to 
 this new way of doing the meta because as is, the region name in fs is a hash 
 of regionname... changing the format of the regionname would mean we generate 
 a different hash... so we'd need hbase-2531 to be in place before we could do 
 this change.

 This is an idea that Ryan and I have been kicking around on and off for a 
 while now.
 If regionnames were made of tablename+endrow instead of tablename+startrow, 
 then in the metatables, doing a search for the region that contains the 
 wanted row, we'd just have to open a scanner using passed row and the first 
 row found by the scan would be that of the region we need (If offlined 
 parent, we'd have to scan to the next row).
 If we redid the meta tables in this format, we'd be using an access that is 
 natural to hbase, a scan as opposed to the perverse, expensive 
 getClosestRowBefore we currently have that has to walk backward in meta 
 finding a containing region.
 This issue is about changing the way we name regions.
 If we were using scans, prewarming client cache would be near costless (as 
 opposed to what we'll currently have to do which is first a 
 getClosestRowBefore and then a scan from the closestrowbefore forward).
 Converting to the new method, we'd have to run a migration on startup 
 changing the content in meta.
 Up to this, the randomid component of a region name has been the timestamp of 
 region creation.   HBASE-2531 32-bit encoding of regionnames waaay 
 too susceptible to hash clashes proposes changing the randomid so that it 
 contains actual name of the directory in the filesystem that hosts the 
 region.  If we had this in place, I think it would help with the migration to 
 this new way of doing the meta because as is, the region name in fs is a hash 
 of regionname... changing the format of the regionname would mean we generate 
 a different hash... so we'd need hbase-2531 to be in place before we could do 
 this change.
