Regards, Varun.
I think that you can see the Bernoit Sigoure (@tsuna)´s talk called
"Lessons learned from OpenTSDB" in the last
HBaseCon . [1]
He explained in great detail how to design your schema to obtain the
best performance from HBase.
Other recommended talks are: "HBase Internals" from Lars, and "HBase
Schema Design" from Ian

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.
Yes, like you said, HFile v2 is included in 0.94, but although is in
trunk right now, your should
keep following the development of HBase, focused on HBASE-5313 and
HBASE-5521, because
the development team is working in a new file storage format called
HFile v3, based on a columnar
format called Trevni for Avro by Dug Cutting.[4][5][6][7]

[7] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-806
Also, should I be using an encoding technique to get the number of bytes
down (like PrefixDeltaEncoding) which is provided by hbase ?
Read the Cloudera´s blog post called "HBase I/O - HFile" to see how
Prefix and Diff encodings
works, and decide which is the more suitable for you.[8]

I hope that all this information could help you.
