             Summary: Rename scanner caching to a more semantically correct term such as row limit
                 Key: HBASE-13442
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13442
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Jonathan Lawlor


Caching acts more as a limit now. By default in branch-1+, a Scan is configured with (caching=Integer.MAX_VALUE, maxResultSize=2MB) so that we service scans on the basis of buffer size rather than number of rows. As a result, caching should now only be configured in instances where the user knows that they will only need X rows. Thus, caching should be renamed to something that is more semantically correct such as rowLimit.
