Liyin Tang commented on HBASE-10502: ------------------------------------ By skimming though HBASE-9272, the semantics seem to be a little different. In this case, the client actually wants to construct multiple scan requests, while HBASE-9272 is to perform a single scan request in parallel. > [89-fb] ParallelScanner: a client utility to perform multiple scan requests > in parallel. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-10502 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10502 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Liyin Tang > Fix For: 0.89-fb > > > ParallelScanner is a utility class for the HBase client to perform multiple > scan requests in parallel. It requires all the scan requests having the same > caching size for the simplicity purpose. > > This class provides 3 very basic functionalities: > * The initialize function will Initialize all the ResultScanners by calling > {@link HTable#getScanner(Scan)} in parallel for each scan request. > * The next function will call the corresponding {@link ResultScanner#next(int > numRows)} from each scan request in parallel, and then return all the results > together as a list. Also, if result list is empty, it indicates there is no > data left for all the scanners and the user can call {@link #close()} > afterwards. > * The close function will close all the scanners and shutdown the thread pool. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
