Optimize M-R by bulk excluding regions - less InputSplit-s to avoid traffic on region servers when performing M-R on a subset of the schema --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2302 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2302 Project: Hadoop HBase Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Kay Kay TableInputFormatBase , creates a InputSplit per region. Given that the keys are sorted - sometimes - it might be needed to perform M-R on a subset of the keyset ( regions ) . Adding a provision to filter the regions when generating InputSplits might be useful . The granularity of exclusion is per-region-wise. A RowFilter might still be needed during a Scan on a separate region, but that is a separate issue altogether. Methodology: Add a way to prune the keyset before generating inputsplits , by default - all sets are returned indicating all regions are included that could be overridden as necessary, depending on the higher-level logic. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
