now i found out, that there are three regions, each on a particular region 
server (server2, server3, server4)
the processing time is still >=60sec, which is not very impressive...

what can i do, to speed up the table scan

hello everybody

i'm trying to scan my hbase table for reporting purposes
the cluster has 4 servers:
- server1: namenode, secondary namenode, jobtracker, hbase master, zookeeper1
- server2: datanode, tasktracker, hbase regionserver, zookeeper2
- server3: datanode, tasktracker, hbase regionserver, zookeeper3
- server4: datanode, tasktracker, hbase regionserver
everything seems to work properly
versions:
- hadoop-0.20.2-CDH3B4
- hbase-0.90.1-CDH3B4
- zookeeper-3.3.2-CDH3B4


at the moment our hbase table has 300000 entries

if i do a table scan over the hbase api (at the moment without a filter)
ResultScanner scanner = table.getScanner(...);

it takes about 60 seconds to process, which is actually okey, because all 
records are processed be only one thread sequentially
BUT it takes approximately the same time, if i do a scan over Map&Reduce job 
using TableInputFormat

i'm definitely doing something wrong, because the processing time is going up 
directly proportional to the number of rows.
in my understanding, the big advantage of hadoop/hbase is, that huge numbers of 
entries can be processed in parallel and very fast

300k entries are not much, we expecting this number to be added hourly to our 
cluster, but the processing time is increasing, which is actually not acceptable

any one an idea, what i'm doing wrong?

andre
