Lars Hofhansl updated HBASE-12311:
----------------------------------
Attachment: 12311.txt
W.I.P. patch. Just parking it. Does not work.
Need to find a good way of passing this from Store to SQM. Could use ScanInfo,
but that's used in some coprocs - then again it's marked with
InterfaceAudience.Private.
> Version stats in HFiles?

> In HBASE-9778 I basically punted the decision on whether doing repeated
> scanner.next() called instead of the issueing (re)seeks to the user.
> I think we can do better.
> One way do that is maintain simple stats of what the maximum number of
> versions we've seen for any row/col combination and store these in the
> HFile's metadata (just like the timerange, oldest Put, etc).
> Then we estimate fairly accurately whether we have to expect lots of versions
> (i.e. seek between columns is better) or not (in which case we'd issue
> repeated next()'s).
