Chao Shi commented on HBASE-9102:
---------------------------------
bq. The client is able to enable/disable on each request basis.
Is this switch available for now? I guess this is enough to improve under our
workload (as most of our scan requests only touch 1 block). For such requests,
we can enable this switch to use pread.
> HFile block pre-loading for large sequential scan

> Key: HBASE-9102
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9102
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.89-fb
> Reporter: Liyin Tang
> Assignee: Liyin Tang
>
> The current HBase scan model cannot take full advantage of the aggrediate
> disk throughput, especially for the large sequential scan cases. And for the
> large sequential scan, it is easy to predict what the next block to read in
> advance so that it can pre-load and decompress/decoded these data blocks from
> HDFS into block cache right before the current read point.
> Therefore, this jira is to optimized the large sequential scan performance by
> pre-loading the HFile blocks into the block cache in a stream fashion so that
> the scan query can read from the cache directly.
