James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-914:
--------------------------------------
[~jeffreyz] - the proposal here isn't to directly expose HBase row key. It's to
declare in the DDL that a column represents the HBase time. The value of the
column would never be set manually by the user - that'd produce an exception.
Instead, the value is determined internally by the timestamp that will be used
for the Put of the row.
For queries, you could use the time column as normal. Under the covers, we'd
know that the value maps to the Cell timestamp, so we could take advantage of
the HBase optimization you mentioned. When transaction support comes along, we
could work around this - there are other similar issues around TTL that need to
be solved.

> Key: PHOENIX-914
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-914
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Vladimir Rodionov
> Assignee: Vladimir Rodionov
>
> For many applications one of the column of a table can be (and must be)
> naturally mapped
> to HBase timestamp. What it gives us is the optimization on StoreScanner
> where HFiles with timestamps out of range of
> a Scan operator will be omitted. Let us say that we have time-series type of
> data (EVENTS) and custom compaction, where we create
> series of HFiles with continuous non-overlapping timestamp ranges.
> CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ODS.EVENTS (
> METRICID VARCHAR NOT NULL,
> METRICNAME VARCHAR,
> SERVICENAME VARCHAR NOT NULL,
> ORIGIN VARCHAR NOT NULL,
> APPID VARCHAR,
> IPID VARCHAR,
> NVALUE DOUBLE,
> TIME TIMESTAMP NOT NULL /+ TIMESTAMP +/,
> DATA VARCHAR,
> SVALUE VARCHAR
> CONSTRAINT PK PRIMARY KEY (METRICID, SERVICENAME, ORIGIN, APPID, IPID,
> TIME)
> ) SALT_BUCKETS=40, IMMUTABLE_ROWS=true,VERSIONS=1,DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING='NONE';
> Make note on TIME TIMESTAMP NOT NULL /+ TIMESTAMP +/ - this is the Hint to
> Phoenix that the column
> TIME must be mapped to HBase timestamp.
> The Query:
> Select all events of type 'X' for last 7 days
> SELECT * from EVENTS WHERE METRICID = 'X' and TIME < NOW() and TIME > NOW() -
> 7*24*3600000; (this may be not correct SQL syntax of course)
> These types of queries will be efficiently optimized if:
> 1. Phoenix maps TIME column to HBase timestamp
> 2. Phoenix smart enough to map WHERE clause on TIME attribute to Scan
> timerange
> Although this :
> Properties props = new Properties();
> props.setProperty(PhoenixRuntime.CURRENT_SCN_ATTRIB, Long.toString(ts));
> Connection conn = DriverManager.connect(myUrl, props);
> conn.createStatement().execute("UPSERT INTO myTable VALUES ('a')");
> conn.commit();
> will work in my case- it may not be efficient from performance point of view
> because for every INSERT/UPSERT
> new Connection object and new Statement is created, beside this we still need
> the optimization 2. (see above).
