He Yongqiang commented on HBASE-5674:
-------------------------------------
bq. For whom?
For our 'researchy' project...
bq. Can you not just have your client specify timestamp of 0?
I hope this can be done in open source hbase, and can be pluggable.
> add support in HBase to overwrite hbase timestamp to a version number during
> major compaction

> Right now, a millisecond-level timestamp is attached to every record.
> In our case, we only need a version number (mostly it will be just zero etc).
> A millisecond timestamp is too heavy to carry. We should add support to
> overwrite it to zero during major compaction.
> KVs before major compaction will remain using system timestamp. And this
> should be configurable, so that we should not mess up if the hbase timestamp
> is specified by application.
