Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-7949:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for working on this. I think this is an important problem, and will 
enable HBase for new use cases. However, I feel like we should fix the core 
issues that prevents this use case from stock HBase, rather than writing a 
fairly complex flush + compaction policy just for LOBs. I guess, you mentioned 
that with custom compaction policy, the problem is with region splits. Can you 
elaborate on that? There is also a problem because of lack of streaming RPC, 
but the issue is also there in your proposal.

> Big content stored in hbase consumes a lot of system resource when region 
> split or compaction operation happens.
> How HBase can be used to store big content along with some self descriptive 
> meta-data. 
> The general idea is to add a new type of column family, and the content of 
> this kind of column family doesn't participate the region split and 
> compaction. An index(rowkey-location) is introduced in this new column family 
> and the split and compaction are only applied to this index.
