>
> There is a property in hbase-default.xml called {{hfile.min.blocksize.size}}
> set to {{65536}}.
> The description says: Minimum store file block size. The smaller you make
> this, the bigger your index and the less you fetch on a random-access. Set
> size down if you have small cells and want faster random-access of
> individual cells.
> This property is only used in the HFileOutputFormat and nowhere else. So we
> should at least change the description to something more meaningful.
> The other option I see would be: HFile now has a DEFAULT_BLOCKSIZE field
> which could be moved to HConstants and HFile could somehow read the
> {{hfile.min.blocksize.size}} from the Configuration or use
> HConstansts.DEFAULT_BLOCKSIZE if it's not defined. I believe this is what's
> happening to the other config variables?
