[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-5229) Explore building blocks for
"multi-row" local transactions.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5229?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Lars Hofhansl updated HBASE-5229:
---------------------------------
Attachment: 5229-multiRow.txt
Patch that works for me. Looks bigger than it is. Just refactors some code to make it usable for MultiRow ops.
"Advanced use only" is prominently mentioned in the Javadoc, and it also advises to either disable splitting or use a custom RegionSplitPolicy.

> HBase should provide basic building blocks for multi-row local transactions. Local means that we do this by co-locating the data. Global (cross region) transactions are not discussed here.
> After a bit of discussion two solutions have emerged:
> 1. Keep the row-key for determining grouping and location and allow efficient intra-row scanning. A client application would then model tables as HBase-rows.
> 2. Define a prefix-length in HTableDescriptor that defines a grouping of rows. Regions will then never be split inside a grouping prefix.
> #1 is true to the current storage paradigm of HBase.
> #2 is true to the current client side API.
> I will explore these two with sample patches here.
> --------------------
> Was:
> As discussed (at length) on the dev mailing list with the HBASE-3584 and HBASE-5203 committed, supporting atomic cross row transactions within a region becomes simple.
> I am aware of the hesitation about the usefulness of this feature, but we have to start somewhere.
> Let's use this jira for discussion, I'll attach a patch (with tests) momentarily to make this concrete.
