I am using Phoenix 4.8.1 with HBase 1.2.3 and the Phoenix Query Server.
I want to use a sequence to generate a monotonically increasing id for each row. Since the documentation states that 100 sequence numbers are cached by default in the client (in my case, I assume the caching would happen in the query server), what is the behavior if I have 2 query servers (load-balanced)? Does this mean Server A would generate numbers starting from 0, and Server B would generate numbers starting from 100? I need to make sure that the id is in order on a global basis for the whole table. Would setting the CACHE to 0 be the best of achieving this?
Also, as the ID is monotonically increasing, I plan to salt the table using something like (no manual split points):
CREATE TABLE mytable (id BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, VARCHAR) SALT_BUCKETS = 20;
Without setting phoenix.query.rowKeyOrderSaltedTable to true, would I still be able to get my records in order if I select them using something like this?
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id > 5 && id < 100 ORDER BY id Thanks, Francis
