------------------------------------------
Summary: Adding Data Types and Structured Row Keys in 0.89-fb HBase
Key: HBASE-10756
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10756
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Usability
Affects Versions: 0.89-fb
Reporter: Manukranth Kolloju
Assignee: Manukranth Kolloju
Fix For: 0.89-fb
As an extension to some of the work done on Presto + HBase side, and also
inspired by some of the work done on open source and Pheonix, introducing data
types and structured row keys will enable the data base(hbase) to de-couple
database level optimizations from the application level schema. The attempt is
to provide a table definition & specification to define the row key structure
which can be composed as a composite struct composed of primitive data types.
The data base can make intelligent decisions of how to interpret the data. For
instance, having an understanding of the the structure of row key will hint the
database about the parts of the data that are valuable and can use that
information to construct indexes/bloom filters based on these parts of the row
key.
This can be extended to the column qualifiers and Nested Types as well.
