stack commented on HBASE-11811:
-------------------------------
Patch looks good. Would help case where repeated, random seeks in a small set
of hot blocks. Won't help scans.
We should write the index into the block at write time rather than calculate
when reading?
> 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.
