Ted Yu commented on HBASE-9543: ------------------------------- Took a quick look at the patch. This feature is about getting unique values in selected range of rows. Should the method name be more specific so that the functionality is clearer ? {code} + if (colSet.size() > uniqueNumLimit) { + throw new IOException("uniqe column value num is larger than limit: " + + uniqueNumLimit + ", check scan params, or set the conf: " + + HConstants.HBASE_AGGREGATION_UNIQUE_MAXSIZE); {code} Once the client receives IOException, adjustment has to be made for the next call. Can we return partial results ? It would be nice to post the patch on reviews.apache.org > Impl unique aggregation > ------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-9543 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9543 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Coprocessors > Reporter: Liu Shaohui > Assignee: Liu Shaohui > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HBASE-9543-0.94-v1.diff, HBASE-9543-trunk-v1.diff, > HBASE-9543-trunk-v2.diff, HBASE-9543-trunk-v3.diff, HBASE-9543-trunk-v4.diff > > > Impl unique aggregation: return a set of all columns' values in a scan. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
