[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-342) hadoop integration

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-342?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12799454#action_12799454 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-342:
------------------------------------------

To get around the hadoop-stuff-has-to-run-in-a-different-JVM problem: what if we had Hadoop operate on Cassandra snapshots?  For the kind of batch oriented, non-latency-sensitive work that Hadoop is a good fit for, that should be perfect: the Hadoop Task can open up ColumnFamilyStore objects on the snapshotted sstables, without having to start a full server which is nasty.

Otherwise IMO we should patch Hadoop to allow Tasks to run on an existing JVM.  I'm surprised HBase didn't do that: doing the copies of *all input* from one jvm to another is not insignificant.  (You could take that approach w/ cassandra to, using getRangeSlice from StorageProxy started with StorageService.initClient -- actually we would want to add initLocalClient probably to mean "I only plan to query the machine I am on" -- but that would be a case of working around bad design instead of fixing it.)
