             Summary: Implement a Multi TieredBucketCache
                 Key: HBASE-18300
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18300
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: BucketCache
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
            Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
             Fix For: 2.0.0, 2.0.0-alpha-2


We did an internal brainstorming to study the feasibility of this. Some of our 
recent tests on SSDs like Optane shows that they are vastly faster in 
randomreads and can act as effective caches. 
In the current state we have a single tier of Bucket cache and the bucket cache 
can either be offheap or configured to work with file mode. (The file mode can 
have multiple files backing it).
So this model restricts us from using either the memory or the file and not 
both. 
With the advent of faster devices like Optane SSDs, NVMe based devices it is 
better we try to utilize all those devices and try using them for the bucket 
cache so that we can avoid the impact of slower devices where the actual data 
resides on the HDFS data nodes. 

Combined with this we can allow the user to configure the caching layer per 
family/table so that one can effectively make use of the caching tiers.

Can upload a design doc here. Before that, would like to know the suggestions 
here. Thoughts!!!
