> Key: HBASE-17756
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17756
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Brainstorming
> Components: HFile
> Reporter: Esteban Gutierrez
> Priority: Major
>
> [[email protected]] was suggesting to use DataSketches
> (https://datasketches.github.io) in order to write additional statistics to
> the HFiles. This could be used to improve our split decisions,
> troubleshooting or potentially do other interesting analysis without having
> to perform full table scans. The statistics could be stored as part of the
> HFile but we could initially improve the visibility of the data by adding
> some statistics to HFilePrettyPrinter.
