--------------------------------
Summary: Bitmasks handling
Key: HBASE-8959
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8959
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Max Lapan
Priority: Minor
I think it would be useful to natively support bitmasks in hbase columns with
ability to check/set/clear/toggle individual bits in byte[] for any column.
Now, we forced to store lots of feature flags as separate, 1-byte values, which
is a waste of space. Compression helps, I guess, but anyway, not ideal.
I see this as a set of new KeyValue.Type, which describes needed
bit-operations. Operations itself performed on compaction or scan process.
Similiar things a performed for KeyValue.Minimum and KeyValue.Maximum.
What do you think about this feature? Maybe, I missing something and it is much
harder to implement than I imagine?
