Hi, I have a schema where the rows are 8 bytes long and the columns are 12 bytes long (roughly 1000 columns per row). The value is 0 bytes. Is this going to be space inefficient in terms of HFile size (large index + blocks) ? The total key size, as far as i know, would be 8 + 12 + 8 (timestamp) = 28 bytes. I am using hbase 0.94.0 which has HFile v2.
Also, should I be using an encoding technique to get the number of bytes down (like PrefixDeltaEncoding) which is provided by hbase ? Thanks ! Varun
