[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-4608) HLog Compression

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4608?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Lars Hofhansl updated HBASE-4608:
---------------------------------

    Release Note: 
Adds a custom dictionary-based compression on WAL.  Off by default.  To enable, set hbase.regionserver.wal.enablecompression to true in hbase-site.xml.
Note that replication is currently broken when WAL compression is enabled.

> The current bottleneck to HBase write speed is replicating the WAL appends across different datanodes. We can speed up this process by compressing the HLog. Current plan involves using a dictionary to compress table name, region id, cf name, and possibly other bits of repeated data. Also, HLog format may be changed in other ways to produce a smaller HLog.
