Attach memcached as secondary block cache to regionserver
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4018
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4018
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: regionserver
Reporter: Li Pi
Assignee: Li Pi
Currently, block caches are limited by heap size, which is limited by garbage
collection times in Java.
We can get around this by using memcached w/JNI as a secondary block cache.
This should be faster than the linux file system's caching, and allow us to
very quickly gain access to a high quality slab allocated cache.
