Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-11682:
--------------------------------------
bq. However, using totally random row keys for data which is accessed
sequentially would remove the benefit of HBase's row-sorting algorithm and
cause very poor performance, as each get or scan would need to query all
regions.
Prefixing with random byte prevents any meaningful use of scans; gets become
your only option. This approach is indistinguishable from hashing the rowkey.
I like the rest of the updates, +1
Thanks a lot [~misty]!
