Hi, This is a newbie question.
What is in a HBase block index entry? My guess is that it's one of these: 1. all key components: rowkey + column family + column qualifier + timestamp 2. all key components except for column family (since the index is in a HFile that is a part of the storage for a column family): rowkey + column qualifier + timestamp 3. rowkey only I've tried to find the information, But the articles only say that it contains a 'key'. For me as a newbie, it is confusing since in a KeyValue the all key components comprise the 'key', while a rowkey is also a 'key'. Thanks.
