Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-8322:
--------------------------------------
I am somewhat neutral about this. We disabled it, because unless short circuit
reading is enabled (or if the data is read by the region server is not local)
we'd actually calculate the checksum twice.
What if folks have a separate HDFS and HBase clusters (not that that would make
sense, but I think some folks have this)? In that case, would we always
calculate the checksum twice?
> Re-enable hbase checksums by default

> Double checksumming issues in HBase level checksums(HBASE-5074) has been
> fixed in HBASE-6868. However, that patch also disables hbase checksums by
> default. I think we should re-enable it by default, and document the
> interaction with shortcircuit reads.
