------------------------------------------------
bq. How would it handle multiple column families, as at the end of a split, a
table has a set of region boundaries that are honored across all column
families, right?
Yes. That is the reason why I did not try anything specific. Infact I was
grouping the stats based on family but removed that code.
My thinking was that, if there are 2 CFs - CF1 and CF2
If CF1 has row2 and CF2 has row1, when we scan we first would get row1 only
though it is in CF2. So overall we would be getting the smallest value only.
But in case of compaction we would be getting the KVs only per CF. There we may
need to do some byte arithmetic to find the min and max keys I think.

> We're currently not using stats, beyond a table-wide min key/max key cached
> per client connection, to guide parallelization. If a query targets just a
> few regions, we don't know how to evenly divide the work among threads,
> because we don't know the data distribution. This other [issue]
> (https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix/issues/64) is targeting gather and
> maintaining the stats, while this issue is focused on using the stats.
> The main changes are:
> 1. Create a PTableStats interface that encapsulates the stats information
> (and implements the Writable interface so that it can be serialized back from
> the server).
> 2. Add a stats member variable off of PTable to hold this.
> 3. From MetaDataEndPointImpl, lookup the stats row for the table in the stats
> table. If the stats have changed, return a new PTable with the updated stats
> information. We may want to cache the stats row and have the stats gatherer
> invalidate the cache row when updated so we don't have to always do a scan
> for it. Additionally, it would be idea if we could use the same split policy
> on the stats table that we use on the system table to guarantee co-location
> of data (for the sake of caching).
> - modify the client-side parallelization (ParallelIterators.getSplits()) to
> use this information to guide how to chunk up the scans at query time.
> This should help boost query performance, especially in cases where the data
> is highly skewed. It's likely the cause for the slowness reported in this
> issue: https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix/issues/47.
