Using HBase client API (scanners) for M/R is so oldish :). HFile has well defined format and it is much more efficient to read them directly.

We have run into this in the past as well. Basically the problem is - Say I have a region server with 12GB of RAM and a row of size 20GB (an extreme example, in practice, HBase runs out of memory way before 20GB). If I query the entire row, HBase does not have enough memory to hold/process it for the response. In practice, if your setCaching > 1, then the aggregate of all rows growing too big can also cause the same issue. I think 1 way we can solve this issue is making the HBase server serve responses in a streaming fashion somehow (not exactly sure about the details on how this can work but if it has to hold the entire row in memory, its going to be bound by HBase heap size) Regards, Dhaval ________________________________ From: Jean-Marc Spaggiari <jean-m...@spaggiari.org> To: user <user@hbase.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, 24 October 2013 12:37 PM Subject: Re: Add Columnsize Filter for Scan Operation If the MR crash because of the number of columns, then we have an issue that we need to fix ;) Please open a JIRA provide details if you are facing that.
