To be more clear, each KV (cell) is a couple of KB but each row is a couple of MB. If I need to search through row key, but always fetch rows as a whole, shall I use a block size larger than the default 64KB?

Hi, I have a HBase table where each row has ~1000k columns, ~2K each. My table scan pattern is to use a row key filter but I need to fetch the whole row (~1000 k) columns back. Shall I set HFile block size to be larger than the default 64K? Thanks, Wei --------------------------------- Wei Tan, PhD Research Staff Member IBM T. J.
