Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-15414:
---------------------------------------
Multi-gets are already chunked ( HBASE-14978 HBASE-14946 ). So the server won't
respond with too much data. However there is currently no way to get those
chunks on the client side as they come in.
> Bound the size of multi request returns and/or allow return of partial result
> up to client

> Key: HBASE-15414
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15414
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Client, rpc
> Reporter: stack
>
> Some knowledgeable hbase users note that while Scanning now allows you return
> results in 'chunks' for assembly client-side as a whole result (or the
> application can see the partials as they come out of the cluster), this
> ability is absent if you do a multi-get; you might get back more than you
> bargained for and just as chunking when Scanning makes sense because it makes
> hbase 'regular', we need the same for multiget.
> Parking an issue here for discussion.
