stack commented on HBASE-5074:
------------------------------
Where in the read pipeline would we verify the checksum? Down in hfile? Where
would we do the exception processing forcing reread with checksum=on? Also
down in hfile?
(Nice idea BTW)
> support checksums in HBase block cache

> Key: HBASE-5074
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5074
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: regionserver
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur

>
> The current implementation of HDFS stores the data in one block file and the
> metadata(checksum) in another block file. This means that every read into the
> HBase block cache actually consumes two disk iops, one to the datafile and
> one to the checksum file. This is a major problem for scaling HBase, because
> HBase is usually bottlenecked on the number of random disk iops that the
> storage-hardware offers.
