Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-23279: --------------------------------------- Thanks all. So based on the discussion here ... Is already a problem if I went and changed the block encoding to anything other than NONE? Most block encodings (like FAST_DIFF, etc) will decrease the size, but even there there're abnormal cases where the size might be increased. > Switch default block encoding to ROW_INDEX_V1 > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-23279 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23279 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Wish > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > Assignee: Viraj Jasani > Priority: Minor > > Currently we set both block encoding and compression to NONE. > ROW_INDEX_V1 has many advantages and (almost) no disadvantages (the hfiles > are slightly larger about 3% or so). I think that would a better default than > NONE. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
