[jira] Commented: (HBASE-867) If millions of columns in a column family, hbase scanner won't come up

["stack (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-867?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12628210#action_12628210 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-867:
-----------------------------

It looks like we should be breaking out of the main while loop in the next method after we pass out a column match -- because store keys are sorted -- but then we fall on the next while loop which just nexts until we hit the next row.

Normally this is fine, if only a few columns in a row, but in Daniel's case its taking forever to move to the next row.

Also, we won't split a region if only one row so its looking like his store files are large, 1G.

> Our Daniel has uploaded a table that has a column family with millions of columns in it.  He can get items from the table promptly specifying row and column.  Scanning is another matter.  Thread dumping I see we're stuck in the scanner constructor nexting through cells.
