This means that every read into the HBase block cache actually consumes two disk iops, one to the datafile and one to the checksum file. This is a major problem for scaling HBase, because HBase is usually bottlenecked on the number of random disk iops that the storage-hardware offers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
