Vladimir Rodionov commented on HBASE-17151: ------------------------------------------- {quote} How about doing a static CacheConfig.DISABLED, and use it when creating a reader. Doing null checks everywhere unnecessarily complicates the code. {quote} OK. > New API to create HFile.Reader without instantiating block cache > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-17151 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17151 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Vladimir Rodionov > Assignee: Vladimir Rodionov > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-17151-v1.patch, HBASE-17151-v2.patch > > > Currently, to create HFile.Reader instance, the CacheConfig instance is > required (which instantiates block cache). We need API for reading HFile w/o > block cache being involved. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
