Elliott Clark updated HBASE-14978:
----------------------------------
Priority: Critical (was: Major)
> Don't allow Scans and Multi to retain too many blocks
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-14978
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14978
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0
> Reporter: Elliott Clark
> Assignee: Elliott Clark
> Priority: Critical
>
> Scans and Multi's have limits on the total size of cells that can be
> returned. However if those requests are not all pointing at the same blocks
> then the KeyValues can keep alive a lot more data than their size.
> Take the following example:
> A multi with a list of 10000 gets to a fat row. Each column being returned in
> in a different block. Each column is small 32 bytes or so.
> So the total cell size will be 32 * 10000 = ~320kb. However if each block is
> 128k then total retained heap size will be almost 40gigs.
