stack commented on HBASE-7180:
------------------------------

getReadPt has to be public?

nextInternal has to be public too?

closeRegionOperation and startRegionOperation too?

So CPs can get at them?

You add KeyValue to RegionScanner when it did not need it previous.  You have 
to?

And a nextInternal in an Interface like RegionScanner seems wrong?

I am for speedup but as you say, this one is ugly

                
> RegionScannerImpl.next() is inefficient.

> We just came across a special scenario.
> For our Phoenix project (SQL runtime for HBase), we push a lot of work into 
> HBase via coprocessors. One method is to wrap RegionScanner in coprocessor 
> hooks and then do processing in the hook to avoid returning a lot of data to 
> the client unnecessarily.
> In this specific case this is pretty bad. Since the wrapped RegionScanner's 
> next() does not "know" that it is called this way is still does all of this 
> on each invocation:
> # Starts a RegionOperation
> # Increments the request count
> # set the current read point on a thread local (because generally each call 
> could come from a different thread)
> # Finally does the next on its StoreScanner(s)
> # Ends the RegionOperation
> When this is done in a tight loop millions of times (as is the case for us) 
> it starts to become significant.
> Not sure what to do about this, really. Opening this issue for discussion.
> One way is to extend the RegionScanner with an "internal" next() method of 
> sorts, so that all this overhead can be avoided. The coprocessor could call 
> the regular next() methods once and then just call the cheaper internal 
> version.
> Are there better/cleaner ways?
