chenning created HBASE-7949:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Enable big content store in HBase
                 Key: HBASE-7949
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7949
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Brainstorming
            Reporter: chenning
            Priority: Critical


Big content stored in hbase consumes a lot of system resource when region split or compaction operation happens.

How HBase can be used to store big content along with some self descriptive meta-data. 

The general idea is to add a new type of column family, and the content of this kind of column family doesn't participate the region split and compaction. An index(rowkey-location) is introduced in this new column family and the split and compaction are only applied to this index.
