Sangjin Lee commented on YARN-4053:
-----------------------------------
Thanks [~varun_saxena] for pointing out an important issue. I would agree with
[~gtCarrera9] that this is bit lower in priority compared to YARN-3814, but
it's an important issue nonetheless.
I'm just curious (and perhaps this is a totally dumb question for a HBase
newbie), is there a way to specify that the value type is a numeric type when
we create the table or the column family? Does HBase itself support something
like that?

> Currently HBase implementation uses GenericObjectMapper to convert and store
> values in backend HBase storage. This converts everything into a string
> representation(ASCII/UTF-8 encoded byte array).
> While this is fine in most cases, it does not quite serve our use case for
> metrics.
> So we need to decide how are we going to encode and decode metric values and
> store them in HBase.
