Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-3162:
------------------------------------
I understand the optimization, but it seems like this is going to be difficult
to put in a clean API.
Any good ideas on how we can add these nice "power user" APIs for efficiency
but not and up making the API super-complicated for the average user?
> Add TimeRange support into Increment to optimize for counters that are
> partitioned on time

> Key: HBASE-3162
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3162
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.90.0
> Reporter: Jonathan Gray
> Priority: Minor
>
> In many use cases of increments, a given counter is only incremented during a
> specific window of time (ie. the counters are partitioned/sharded by time).
> With this kind of schema, you are constantly creating new counters. When a
> new counter is "created" (incremented the first time) you will always end up
> looking at a block from every file in the region because no previous value
> will exist. However, with the new TimeRange optimizations that skip files if
> they don't contain values of the TimeRange you're interested in, we could
> utilize that information to optimize the Get within the increment.
> This would be optional and an addition to the Increment class.
