Ok. I found a clean way to improve that a lot without going with the filter. I will open a JIRA and push a fix. The idea is to set the caching to the maximum of LIMIT, so we don't read the entire table before returning to the shell. Also, we have to change where we do the test. anyway. JIRA 13721

For PageFilter : * Implementation of Filter interface that limits results to a specific page * size. It terminates scanning once the number of filter-passed rows is > * the given page size. In your case, what should be the page size - 0 ? Cheers On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 8:30 PM, Jean-Marc S

Oh, I see! So basically we do a full table scan because it never returns a 2nd row, so we never reach that break and we exit only when we reach the end of the table. Therefore the same performances without the limit parameter... Should we then try to add a filter like PageFilter to the scan if we

Take a look at table.rb _scan_internal() LIMIT is not passed to the server, so you fetch more rows https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/hbase-shell/src/main/ruby/hbase/table.rb#L495 Matteo On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 8:11 PM, Jean-Marc Spaggiari < jean-m...@spaggiari.org> wrote: > I tried to

I tried to run scan/get/scan/get many times, and always the same pattern. You can remove the "LIMIT => 1" parameter and you will get the same performances. Scan and get without the QC returns in very similar time. 191ms for one, 194ms for the other one. 2015-05-19 23:02 GMT-04:00 Ted Yu : > J-M:

Are not Scan and Gets supposed to be almost as fast? I have a pretty small table with 65K lines, few columns (hundred?) trying to go a get and a scan. hbase(main):009:0> scan 'sensors', { COLUMNS => ['v:f92acb5b-079a-42bc-913a-657f270a3dc1'], STARTROW => '000a', LIMIT => 1 } ROW COLUMN+CELL 000

Thanks Ian! Very helpful breakdown. For this use case, I think the multi-version row structure is ruled out. We will investigate the onekey-manycolumn approach. Also, the more I study the mechanics behind a SCAN vs GET, the more I believe the informal test I did is inaccurate. What does
