--------------------------------------
Summary: [REST] Do not disable block caching when scanning
Key: HBASE-10884
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10884
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.94.18, 0.96.1.1, 0.98.1
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
The REST gateway pessimistically disables block caching when issuing Scans to
the cluster, using Scan#setCacheBlocks(false) in ScannerResultGenerator. It
does not do this when issuing Gets on behalf of HTTP clients in
RowResultGenerator. This is an old idea now, the reasons for doing so lost
sometime back in the era when HBase walked the earth with dinosaurs (< 0.20).
We probably should not be penalizing REST scans in this way.
