Hi,

Can anyone reference me to an article/blog detailing how Counters are implemented in HBase?

We get very low throughput of batch of Increment relative to batch of Put, and I would like to investigate why, by understanding the basic workflow on updating a counter - does it use block-cache? Does it access disk (IO) on each Increment (to read latest value) ?

Tnx,

Asaf

I found the following:

Which hbase version are you using ?

Cheers
