Ian Varley commented on METAMODEL-13:
-------------------------------------
Valid points, especially in terms of not wanting the HBase metamodel adaptor to
*require* everything that comes with Phoenix (system table, coprocessor
installation, specific byte encodings, etc). Metamodel needs to work with raw
HBase in the simplest way possible.
That said, for other standard SQL databases (like MySQL, Oracle, etc.),
Metamodel does take advantage of the query parser, query model, system tables,
built in aggregations, etc., right? The existence of Phoenix puts HBase in a
class where it could be treated more like these than like a raw row store. It
can still conform to the universal set of functionality, but in a way that's
more like MySQL than it is like raw HBase.
So perhaps a better approach is to think of adding an *additional* module -
there's the HBase module that goes against raw HBase (what you've already
built), and then in the future maybe there's also an "HBase/Phoenix" module
that goes against HBase with Phoenix in between. The latter doesn't preclude
the former. (My guess is that the benefits of using the Phoenix
version--secondary indexes, parallelization, mutability, schema management,
high-performance aggregation--would eventually be compelling enough to make it
a common choice). If you agree, I'll file a JIRA for that. :)
