Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-3162:
--------------------------------------

I like it.  We're using blooms now but they get big.  Not sure exactly how it 
would integrate but sounds like a great idea.

I still think there's value in this jira which could be implemented in an hour 
;)

> Add TimeRange support into Increment to optimize for counters that are 
> partitioned on time

>             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.
