Alan Gates commented on PIG-1825:
---------------------------------

Dmitriy, is this something we should check in?  You seemed to indicate that this was no longer necessary after we moved to HBase 0.89 or above.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1825
>             Project: Pig
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
>            Reporter: Corbin Hoenes
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 0.8.0
>
>         Attachments: HBaseStorage_noWAL.patch
>
>
> Added an option to allow a caller of HBaseStorage to turn off the WriteAheadLog feature while doing bulk loads into hbase.
> From the performance tuning wikipage: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PerformanceTuning
> "To speed up the inserts in a non critical job (like an import job), you can use Put.writeToWAL(false) to bypass writing to the write ahead log."
> We've tested this on HBase 0.20.6 and it helps dramatically.  
> The -noWAL options is passed in just like other options for hbase storage:
> STORE myalias INTO 'MyTable' USING org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage('mycolumnfamily:field1 mycolumnfamily:field2','-noWAL');
> This would be my first patch so please educate me with any steps I need to do.
