Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-11811:
----------------------------------------
Interesting. We should take this for a spin on a small cluster with YCSB.
bq. also makes block seeking identical between HFileReaderV2 and HFileReaderV3.
We should clean that up in any case.
> Use binary search for seeking into a block

> Currently upon every seek (including Gets) we need to linearly look through
> the block from the beginning until we find the Cell we are looking for.
> It should be possible to build a simple cache of offsets of Cells for each
> block as it is loaded and then use binary search to find the Cell in question.
