-------------------------------
[~yeweichen] Did you get a chance to make the smaller patch? Thanks.
> Support multiple regions as input to each mapper in map/reduce jobs

> Key: HBASE-12394
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12394
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mapreduce
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 0.98.6.1
> Reporter: Weichen Ye
> Attachments: HBASE-12394-v2.patch, HBASE-12394.patch

> Welcome to the ReviewBoard :https://reviews.apache.org/r/27519/
> For Hadoop cluster, a job with large HBase table as input always consumes a
> large amount of computing resources. For example, we need to create a job
> with 1000 mappers to scan a table with 1000 regions. This patch is to support
> one mapper using multiple regions as input.
>
> The following new files are included in this patch:
> TableMultiRegionInputFormat.java
> TableMultiRegionInputFormatBase.java
> TableMultiRegionMapReduceUtil.java
> *TestTableMultiRegionInputFormatScan1.java
> *TestTableMultiRegionInputFormatScan2.java
> *TestTableMultiRegionInputFormatScanBase.java
> *TestTableMultiRegionMapReduceUtil.java
>
> The files start with * are tests.
> In order to support multiple regions for one mapper, we need a new property
> in configuration--"hbase.mapreduce.scan.regionspermapper"
> hbase.mapreduce.scan.regionspermapper controls how many regions used as input
> for one mapper. For example,if we have an HBase table with 300 regions, and
> we set hbase.mapreduce.scan.regionspermapper = 3. Then we run a job to scan
> the table, the job will use only 300/3=100 mappers.
> In this way, we can control the number of mappers using the following formula.
> Number of Mappers = (Total region numbers) /
> hbase.mapreduce.scan.regionspermapper
> This is an example of the configuration.
> <property>
> <name>hbase.mapreduce.scan.regionspermapper</name>
> <value>3</value>
> </property>
> This is an example for Java code:
> TableMultiRegionMapReduceUtil.initTableMapperJob(tablename, scan, Map.class,
> Text.class, Text.class, job);
