Riley Patterson updated HBASE-4358:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-4358.patch
Note that several assumptions changed in TestMasterObserver due to
automatically routing single calls through the batched API in order to minimize
code redundancy. So I changed TestMasterObserver accordingly.
> Batch Table Alter Operations
> ----------------------------

> Key: HBASE-4358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4358
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ipc, master, shell
> Affects Versions: 0.92.0
> Reporter: Riley Patterson
> Assignee: Riley Patterson
> Priority: Minor

> Currently, the RPC provides no way of asking for several table alterations at
> once, and the master has no way of batch handling alter requests. Thus, when
> the user requests several changes at the same time (i.e. add these I columns,
> delete these J columns, and modify these K columns), each region is brought
> down (I+J+K) times so that it can reflect the new schema. Additionally,
> multiple writes are made to META, and multiple RPC calls must be made.
> This patch provides batching for these operations, both at the RPC level and
> within the Master's TableEventHandlers. This involves a bit of reorganization
> in the TableEventHandler class hierarchy, and a new TableEventHandler,
> TableMultiFamilyHandler. The net effect ends up being the difference seen
> here:
> Before patch:
> hbase(main):001:0> alter 'peeps', {NAME => 'rawr'}, {METHOD => 'delete', NAME
> => 'name'}
> Updating all regions with the new schema...
> 1/1 regions updated.
> Done.
> Updating all regions with the new schema...
> 1/1 regions updated.
> Done.
> 0 row(s) in 2.6450 seconds
> After patch:
> hbase(main):002:0> alter 'peeps', {NAME => 'rawr'}, {METHOD => 'delete', NAME
> => 'name'}
> Updating all regions with the new schema...
> 1/1 regions updated.
> Done.
> 0 row(s) in 1.1930 seconds
> Regions are only brought down once, and the duration is cut 1/N.
