<title>Prefetch Option for Blockcache</title>
<para><link xlink:href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9857">HBASE-9857</link>
adds a new option to prefetch HFile contents when opening the blockcache, if a columnfamily
or regionserver property is set. This option is available for HBase 0.98.3 and later. The
purpose is to warm the blockcache as rapidly as possible after the cache is opened, using
in-memory table data, and not counting the prefetching as cache misses. This is great for
fast reads, but is not a good idea if the data to be preloaded will not fit into the
blockcache. It is useful for tuning the IO impact of prefetching versus the time before all
data blocks are in cache. </para>
<para>To enable prefetching on a given column family, you can use HBase Shell or use the
API.</para>
