Stu Hood commented on HADOOP-2667:
----------------------------------
bq. Because you want to write BLOBs of multiple Gigabytes into an hbase cell?
Yes, that would be one usecase, but the BLOB wouldn't even need to be that
large: even for streams in the hundreds of megabytes, it would be impractical
to read them fully.
For the perennial example of a web or document crawler, it makes more sense to
open a stream to a document you are fetching, and then pass the stream to
HBase, rather than buffering it into memory first.
