Karthik Ranganathan created HBASE-6770: ------------------------------------------
Summary: Allow scanner setCaching to specify size instead of number of rows Key: HBASE-6770 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6770 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: client, regionserver Reporter: Karthik Ranganathan Currently, we have the following api's to customize the behavior of scans: setCaching() - how many rows to cache on client to speed up scans setBatch() - max columns per row to return per row to prevent a very large response. Ideally, we should be able to specify a memory buffer size because: 1. that would take care of both of these use cases. 2. it does not need any knowledge of the size of the rows or cells, as the final thing we are worried about is the available memory. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
