[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7826) Improve Hbase Thrift v1 to return results in sorted order

["Shivendra Pratap Singh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7826?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13576313#comment-13576313 ] 

Shivendra Pratap Singh commented on HBASE-7826:
-----------------------------------------------

Proposed solution:
Add a new type (a struct) called TColumn to the Hbase thrift specification file. 
TColumn has two members viz. row and TCell. TCell is the usual TCell that exists. Instead of storing columns in a TreeMap we store TColumn type instances in an ArrayList. This guarantees that the sort order is maintained all the way through when it passes from Hbase RS to thrift Hbase client.

> Hbase natively stores columns sorted based on the column qualifier. A scan is guaranteed to return sorted columns. The Java API works fine but the Thrift API is broken. Hbase uses TreeMap that ensures that sort order is maintained. However Hbase thrift specification uses a simple Map to store the data. A map, since it is unordered doesn't result in columns being returned in a sort order that is consistent with their storage in Hbase.
