ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-14221:
------------------------------------------------
I would say the biggest problem that I faced is with the fake keys.
Considering that when we add explicit columns then we tend to use fake keys as
the initial start point for the scans. But the row created by the fake key may
not be the actual row but still we will say that we have found a new row as the
row content has changed. So until an actual key is retrieved we cannot assume
we have got a new row. Rest I thought is okie - and particularly this gain is
only in scans and not in gets.

> When we tried to do some profiling with the PE tool found this.
> Currently we do row comparisons in 3 places in a simple Scan case.
> 1) ScanQueryMatcher
> {code}
> int ret = this.rowComparator.compareRows(curCell, cell);
> if (!this.isReversed) {
> if (ret <= -1) {
> return MatchCode.DONE;
> } else if (ret >= 1) {
> // could optimize this, if necessary?
> // Could also be called SEEK_TO_CURRENT_ROW, but this
> // should be rare/never happens.
> return MatchCode.SEEK_NEXT_ROW;
> }
> } else {
> if (ret <= -1) {
> return MatchCode.SEEK_NEXT_ROW;
> } else if (ret >= 1) {
> return MatchCode.DONE;
> }
> }
> {code}
> 2) In StoreScanner next() while starting to scan the row
> {code}
> if (!scannerContext.hasAnyLimit(LimitScope.BETWEEN_CELLS) ||
> matcher.curCell == null ||
> isNewRow || !CellUtil.matchingRow(peeked, matcher.curCell)) {
> this.countPerRow = 0;
> matcher.setToNewRow(peeked);
> }
> {code}
> Particularly to see if we are in a new row.
> 3) In HRegion
> {code}
> scannerContext.setKeepProgress(true);
> heap.next(results, scannerContext);
> scannerContext.setKeepProgress(tmpKeepProgress);
> nextKv = heap.peek();
> moreCellsInRow = moreCellsInRow(nextKv, currentRowCell);
> {code}
> Here again there are cases where we need to careful for a MultiCF case. Was
> trying to solve this for the MultiCF case but is having lot of cases to
> solve. But atleast for a single CF case I think these comparison can be
> reduced.
> So for a single CF case in the SQM we are able to find if we have crossed a
> row using the code pasted above in SQM. That comparison is definitely needed.
> Now in case of a single CF the HRegion is going to have only one element in
> the heap and so the 3rd comparison can surely be avoided if the
> StoreScanner.next() was over due to MatchCode.DONE caused by SQM.
> Coming to the 2nd compareRows that we do in StoreScanner. next() - even that
> can be avoided if we know that the previous next() call was over due to a new
> row. Doing all this I found that the compareRows in the profiler which was
> 19% got reduced to 13%. Initially we can solve for single CF case which can
> be extended to MultiCF cases.
