I'll try this tomorrow. Yes ,as per your previous comments , I'll be keeping "values" field at position 2, so this will automatically ensure that empty PGuidePosts is returned when client older than 4.7 is used right? As per below code from version older than 4.7 (PTableImpl.createFromProto() ) GuidePostsInfo info = new GuidePostsInfo(guidePostsByteCount, value, rowCount);//Prior 4.7 version :- empty "value" list. 3) I have created a GuidePostsInfoWriter and you can review the changes in this pull request now. > Compress memory used by row key byte[] of guideposts > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-2417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2417 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: James Taylor > Assignee: Ankit Singhal > Fix For: 4.7.0 > > Attachments: PHOENIX-2417.patch, PHOENIX-2417_encoder.diff, > PHOENIX-2417_v2_wip.patch > > > We've found that smaller guideposts are better in terms of minimizing any > increase in latency for point scans. However, this increases the amount of > memory significantly when caching the guideposts on the client. Guidepost are > equidistant row keys in the form of raw byte[] which are likely to have a > large percentage of their leading bytes in common (as they're stored in > sorted order. We should use a simple compression technique to mitigate this. > I noticed that Apache Parquet has a run length encoding - perhaps we can use > that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
