Hi,

Was the possibility of compressing RPC data sent from HBase client to Region server?
Some data pattern could benefit from this tremendously.

Another thing - As a work-around, can be this be done by using a special coprocessor which will receive the List<Put>, decompress it and then call HRegionServer to insert it?

Thanks,

Asaf

I think the following JIRA is related to what you ask:
HBASE-6966 "Compressed RPCs for HBase" (HBASE-5355) port to trunk

Before that gets integrated, you can manage compression yourself.
prePut() is given reference to the Put:

  void prePut(final ObserverContext<RegionCoprocessorEnvironment> c,

      final Put put, final WALEdit edit, final boolean writeToWAL)
where you can manipulate the contents of the Put.

Cheers
