[jira] [Created] (PIG-4663) HBaseStorage could allow a row columns limit to avoid memory or scan timeout issues

-------------------------------

             Summary: HBaseStorage could allow a row columns limit to avoid memory or scan timeout issues
                 Key: PIG-4663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4663
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Paul Mazak


The HBase client Scan API offers a way to setMaxResultsPerColumnFamily.  This number prevents all the columns from being consumed when scanning a row.  If you have a single row with several thousand columns on it, Pig will likely fail giving an OutOfMemoryException or ScannerTimeoutException.

The suggestion is to add the option '-maxResultsPerColumnFamily' which can be passed as an optString parameter in the constructor, which sets this value on the HBase Scan.
