Vrushali C created YARN-4025: -------------------------------- Summary: Deal with byte representations of Longs in writer code Key: YARN-4025 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4025 Project: Hadoop YARN Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Vrushali C Assignee: Vrushali C
Timestamps are being stored as Longs in hbase by the HBaseTimelineWriterImpl code. There seem to be some places in the code where there are conversions between Long to byte[] to String for easier argument passing between function calls. Then these values end up being converted back to byte[] while storing in hbase. It would be better to pass around byte[] or the Longs themselves as applicable. This may result in some api changes (store function) as well in adding a few more function calls like getColumnQualifier which accepts a pre-encoded byte array. It will be in addition to the existing api which accepts a String and the ColumnHelper to return a byte[] column name instead of a String one. Filing jira to track these changes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
