Liyin Tang commented on HBASE-10342:
------------------------------------
Interesting.... If the most significant part of the row key is evenly
distributed across the row key space, usually we don't need to salt the table,
right ?

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Liyin Tang
>
> When designing HBase schema for some use cases, it is quite common to combine
> multiple information within the RowKey. For instance, assuming that rowkey is
> constructed as md5(id1) + id1 + id2, and user wants to scan all the rowkeys
> which starting by id1. In such case, the rowkey bloom filter is able to cut
> more unnecessary seeks during the scan.
