Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-17339:
-----------------------------------
Agree with [~vrodionov] that this can not be a general optimization because
HBase can not guarantee that the versions in memstore is always greater than
the versions in storefiles as the version can be set by user.

> The current implementation of a get operation (to retrieve values for a
> specific key) scans through all relevant stores of the region; for each store
> both memory components (memstores segments) and disk components (hfiles) are
> scanned in parallel.
> We suggest to apply an optimization that speculatively scans memory-only
> components first and only if the result is incomplete scans both memory and
> disk.
