Lars Hofhansl resolved HBASE-7755.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Marking as "Won't fix" as I have been unable to find a general heuristic that
always improves performance.
> Experiment with LAB in BlockEndcoding

> Key: HBASE-7755
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7755

> I was looking at and profiling the BlockEncoding code to figure out how to
> make it faster. One issue that jumped out was we call
> ByteBuffer.allocate(...) for each single KV.
> As an experiment I tried using the MemStoreLAB code to allocate those buffers.
> Here are some preliminary numbers, all scanning 10m rows (all in cache):
> * no encoding: 5.2s
> * FAST_DIFF without patch: 7.3s
> * FAST_DIFF with patch and small LAB: 4.1s
> * FAST_DIFF with patch and large LAB: 11s
> So this is very sensitive to the right sizing of the LAB.
> Need to do a bit more testing, but it seems that there is a chance to
> actually make scanning with block encoding faster than without!
