Kay Kay commented on HBASE-2214: -------------------------------- Makes sense conceptually . Would be nice to have a final version of the patch logging the number of rows on the server side when scanning by size , so as to estimate the density / sparsity of the data across columns when we scan by size. > Do hbase-1966 -- setting size to return in scan rather than count of rows -- > properly > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2214 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2214 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: stack > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > > The notion that you set size rather than row count specifying how many rows a > scanner should return in each cycle was raised over in hbase-1966. Its a > good one making hbase "regular" though the data under it may vary. > HBase-1966 was committed but the patch was constrained by the fact that it > needed to not change RPC interface. This issue is about doing hbase-1966 for > 0.21 in a clean, unconstrained way. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
