Benoit Sigoure created HBASE-9612: ------------------------------------- Summary: Ability to batch edits destined to different regions Key: HBASE-9612 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9612 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.95.2, 0.95.1, 0.95.0, 0.96.0 Reporter: Benoit Sigoure
The old (pre-PB) "multi" and "multiPut" RPCs allowed one to batch edits destined to different regions. Seems like we've lost this ability after the switch to protobufs. The {{MultiRequest}} only contains one {{RegionSpecifier}}, and a list of {{MultiAction}}. The {{MultiAction}} message is contains either a single {{MutationProto}} or a {{Get}} (but not both – so its name is misleading as there is nothing "multi" about it). Also it seems redundant with {{MultiGetRequest}}, I'm not sure what's the point of supporting {{Get}} in {{MultiAction}}. I propose that we change {{MultiRequest}} to be a just a list of {{MultiAction}}, and {{MultiAction}} will contain the {{RegionSpecifier}}, the {{bool atomic}} and a list of {{MutationProto}}. This would be a non-backward compatible protobuf change. If we want we can support mixing edits and reads, in which case we'd also add a list of {{Get}} in {{MultiAction}}, and we'd have support having both that list and the list of {{MutationProto}} set at the same time. But this is a bonus and can be done later (in a backward compatible manner, hence no need to rush on this one). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
