Karan Mehta updated HBASE-18097:
--------------------------------
Summary: Save bandwidth on partial_flag_per_result in ScanResponse proto
(was: Client can save 1 RPC call for CloseScannerRequest)
> Save bandwidth on partial_flag_per_result in ScanResponse proto
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-18097
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18097
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.3.2
> Reporter: Karan Mehta
>
> Starting version 1.3, HBase automatically closes scanner on server side
> whenever the results are exhausted and corresponding bits are set in the
> {{ScanResponse}} proto returned to the client. We can use that info to
> eliminate the closeScanRequest RPC call, thereby saving 1 RPC per region per
> scan. This can be particularly useful for tables with more regions.
> Also, currently the {{ScanResponse}} proto sends out 1 bit per {{Result}}
> that it has embeds inside the {{CellScanner}} to indicate if it is partial or
> not.
> {code}
> // In every RPC response there should be at most a single partial result.
> Furthermore, if
> // there is a partial result, it is guaranteed to be in the last position
> of the array.
> {code}
> According to client, only the last result can be partial, thus this repeated
> bool can be converted to a bool, thus reducing overhead of serialization and
> deserialization of the array. This will break wire compatibility therefore
> this is something to look for in upcoming versions.
