--------------------------------------
Summary: Backport HBASE-11927 (Use Native Hadoop Library for HFile
checksum) to 0.98
Key: HBASE-14738
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14738
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Assignee: Andrew Purtell
Fix For: 0.98.16
Profiling 0.98.15 I see 20-30% of CPU time spent in Hadoop's PureJavaCrc32. Not
surprising given previous results described on HBASE-11927. Backport.
There are two issues with the backport:
# The patch on 11927 changes the default CRC type from CRC32 to CRC32C.
Although the changes are backwards compatible -files with either CRC type will
be handled correctly in a transparent manner - we should probably leave the
default alone in 0.98 and advise users on a site configuration change to use
CRC32C if desired, for potential hardware acceleration.
# Need a shim for differences between Hadoop's DataChecksum type.
