> This is an idea that Ryan and I have been kicking around on and off for a
> while now.
> If regionnames were made of tablename+endrow instead of tablename+startrow,
> then in the metatables, doing a search for the region that contains the
> wanted row, we'd just have to open a scanner using passed row and the first
> row found by the scan would be that of the region we need (If offlined
> parent, we'd have to scan to the next row).
> If we redid the meta tables in this format, we'd be using an access that is
> natural to hbase, a scan as opposed to the perverse, expensive
> getClosestRowBefore we currently have that has to walk backward in meta
> finding a containing region.
> This issue is about changing the way we name regions.
> If we were using scans, prewarming client cache would be near costless (as
> opposed to what we'll currently have to do which is first a
> getClosestRowBefore and then a scan from the closestrowbefore forward).
> Converting to the new method, we'd have to run a migration on startup
> changing the content in meta.
> Up to this, the randomid component of a region name has been the timestamp of
> region creation. HBASE-2531 "32-bit encoding of regionnames waaaaaaayyyyy
> too susceptible to hash clashes" proposes changing the randomid so that it
> contains actual name of the directory in the filesystem that hosts the
> region. If we had this in place, I think it would help with the migration to
> this new way of doing the meta because as is, the region name in fs is a hash
> of regionname... changing the format of the regionname would mean we generate
> a different hash... so we'd need hbase-2531 to be in place before we could do
> this change.
