------------------------------------------------
Thanks. Just seeing this comment. Lets take it forward.
> Implement a Multi TieredBucketCache
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-18300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18300
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: BucketCache
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
> Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> We did an internal brainstorming to study the feasibility of this. Some of
> our recent tests on SSDs like Optane shows that they are vastly faster in
> randomreads and can act as effective caches.
> In the current state we have a single tier of Bucket cache and the bucket
> cache can either be offheap or configured to work with file mode. (The file
> mode can have multiple files backing it).
> So this model restricts us from using either the memory or the file and not
> both.
> With the advent of faster devices like Optane SSDs, NVMe based devices it is
> better we try to utilize all those devices and try using them for the bucket
> cache so that we can avoid the impact of slower devices where the actual data
> resides on the HDFS data nodes.
> Combined with this we can allow the user to configure the caching layer per
> family/table so that one can effectively make use of the caching tiers.
> Can upload a design doc here. Before that, would like to know the suggestions
> here. Thoughts!!!
