Eric Charles commented on MAILBOX-170:
--------------------------------------
Hi Ioan, imho the storage of the raw mail in hdfs sequence file can be an
option.
We will need to measure the efficiency of this implementation compared to a
pure hbase one (you know the story "... hdfs is for very very large files...".
Upon a distributed mailbox locker (JAMES-1388) we also need a mechanism to
query efficiently the mailbox (in case of imap search queries for example - not
covered neither in the current hbase impl).
btw, please ensure the existing mailbox-hbase remain as such (without hadoop),
and start the implementation in a mailbox-hadoop project.

> The current implementation stores messages directly in HBase. I believe a
> better approach is to store the messages as SequenceFiles in the <mail_ID>:
> <message_data>. HBase will store sequence File offests in the SequenceFile
> for each mailbox for fast access similar to a hadoop MapFile.
