dhruba borthakur commented on HBASE-5074:
-----------------------------------------
The reason I kept the definition of CRC32C in the ChecksumType is essentially
to reserve an ordinal in the enum for this checksum algorithm in the future. We
should just wait for Hadoop 2.0 to be released to get this feature (instead of
copying it to hbase).
> means that HFileV3 would start with minor version of 1.
I am suggesting that HFileV3 has nothing to do with minorVersions. HFileV3 can
decide to support minor version 0 or 1 or both. HFileV3 might not even use the
HFileBlock format as we know it, in which case the question is moot.

> 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.
