This is seems to going in a super messy direction. With HBASE-7806 the ideas was to cleanup all this crazy stuff (HFileLink, References, ...)
unfortunately the initial decision of tight together the fs layout and the tables/regions/families is bringing to all this workaround to have something cool. If you put the files in one place, and the association in another you can avoid all this complexity. /hbase/data/[file1, file 2, file 3, file N] table 1/region 1: [file 2] table 1/region 2: [file 1 (from 0 to 50)] table 1/region 3: [file 1 (from 50 to 100)] table 2/region 1: [file 1, file 2] On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 10:13 PM, Stack <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes.
