Clint Morgan updated HBASE-883: ------------------------------- Attachment: hbase-883.patch Thanks for the review, responded to most of it: The stuff dealing with RowKeyCompartors is my half-arse attempt at 661. It seems to work but I have not tried it when regions start to split, which i think is where the issues will arise. I need RowKeyComparators, because some indexes (those that go in reverse order, or deserialize the index keys (column values from base table) to order by EG long values) need to sort non-lexicographically. This WritableComparator is diff that the one in hadoop. Mine just brings the two interfaces together, while the hadoop version is a general class for comparing byte[]s. Made PerfEval.fomat public Changed package names to tableindexed Regards including the index specs in HTD, it made sense to me. I see the pollution concern, but indexes seem like a fundamental part of the tables meta-data. I can rework in subsequent patch If need be. This version has transactional tables/regions inherit from the indexed tables/regions. This will allow the index updates to have proper transactional behavior (when updated as part of a transaction). I've tested this in my object-datastore layer above hbase, and passes some basic tests. There is a reasonable deal of logic that goes into the RowKeyGenerator as it must carefully build the index keys to get the desired ordering. I'm building my index keys prefixed with the same prefix used in the original keys to maintain "sharding". This way I can do an quick index scan for data from a give domain (EG, for a specific customer). > Secondary Indexes > ----------------- > > Key: HBASE-883 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-883 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: client, regionserver > Reporter: Clint Morgan > Assignee: Clint Morgan > Attachments: hbase-883.patch, hbase-883.patch > > > I'm working on a secondary index impl.
