Jim Kellerman commented on HBASE-2: ----------------------------------- Thinking about this some more, using a long is overkill, and to truly maintain sort order, would need to be zero filled from the left. A simple integer counter will suffice (although it too needs to be zero filled from the left to preserve sort order). e.g.: The following do not sort properly: 1 2 10 whereas the following do: 01 02 10 > hlog numbers should wrap around when they reach 999 > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: regionserver > Reporter: Billy Pearson > Assignee: Bryan Duxbury > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.2.0 > > Attachments: 2-v2.patch, 2.patch > > > Question about log numbers -> Closing current log writer > hdfs://10.0.0.1:9000/gfs_storage/hadoop-root/hbase/log_10.0.0.3_1201900440436_60020/hlog.dat.024 > What happens when the log get to hlog.dat.999 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
