Hi, Usually one method to reduce IO in hbase is to reduce the size of column qualifier’s length and use a dictionary to map the application column name to the actual column qualifier. Kiji schema project is doing exactly that. Is there any column name encoding support in Phoenix? if no, any plan to do that? Another option is that we can create phoenix table on top of kiji table, but kiji has its own column serializer which is based on avro and the Phoenix client needs to be modified to do the custom deserialization and mapping etc. The last resort will be putting these column name mapping biz into application DAO layer. Do you have any suggestion?
Thx, Yanlin
