Xiang Li commented on HBASE-9272:
---------------------------------
[~lhofhansl] I would like to continue to work on this if you are ok. I also
leave a note on HBASE-1935 to check with Stack. If I understand it correctly,
HBASE-1935 and HBASE-9272 have the same goal/idea to implement parallel scan.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Just need to check with you: could you please share why you stopped at that
time? What are you un-happy at? Any tech obstacles or challenges you see that
are hard to overcome? Feel free to comment if you have any! Thanks!

> The contract of ClientScanner is to return rows in sort order. That limits
> the order in which region can be scanned.
> I propose a simple ParallelScanner that does not have this requirement and
> queries regions in parallel, return whatever gets returned first.
> This is generally useful for scans that filter a lot of data on the server,
> or in cases where the client can very quickly react to the returned data.
> I have a simple prototype (doesn't do error handling right, and might be a
> bit heavy on the synchronization side - it used a BlockingQueue to hand data
> between the client using the scanner and the threads doing the scanning, it
> also could potentially starve some scanners long enugh to time out at the
> server).
> On the plus side, it's only a 130 lines of code. :)
