[jira] Commented: (CHUKWA-569) Add an option to speed up graph_explorer.jsp in fetching Column Name and Row Name

Ari Rabkin commented on CHUKWA-569:
-----------------------------------

I think that assumption is usually a safe one -- particularly if the scan only covers, say, the most recent 20 rows.

What about explicitly keeping a separate metadata table, either in HBase or in Zookeeper?

> When select a column family, the only way to figure out all columns inside the column family is to do a scan.  Since HBase does not have an API to get column names only, we have to provide a temporary workaround.  We can add an option to do full table scan, and we scan small amount of data to figure out the column patterns by default.  This short cut make assumption that data are in repeated pattern, scanning one row should be sufficient to find all the columns.  The same principle applies in scanning for unique row names.
