stack commented on HBASE-451:
-----------------------------
Hmm. Ignore the patch Subbu. I see that you read the tableinfo from the fs on
each region open rather than have it passed in on the constructor. Why do the
former than the latter? I'd think the latter better? The region host will
have the current HTableDesc? If its passed in on the constructor, down the
road the host can change it and the region will pick up the changes? Did you
go the route of reading from the fs because you would not change the APIs for
region creation? Thats a fair enough reason only I'd say these are all
server-side APIs so no need for the deprecate cycle, etc.

> There is an HRegionInfo for every region in HBase. Currently HRegionInfo also
> contains the HTableDescriptor (the schema). That means we store the schema n
> times where n is the number of regions in the table.
> Additionally, for every region of the same table that the region server has
> open, there is a copy of the schema. Thus it is stored in memory once for
> each open region.
> If HRegionInfo merely contained the table name the HTableDescriptor could be
> stored in a separate file and easily found.
