Ankit Singhal commented on PHOENIX-3271:
----------------------------------------

with default configuration(assuming read and writes are sharing the same 
handler queue), I think deadlock can happen when all the region server handlers 
are saturated by the no. of working scans (on different chunks of the region) 
and there is no handler to handle the write. In this way, both will not succeed 
even with high priority writes as they need to wait for scan RPC completes.

I'll try to do the stress test tomorrow to see if there are other cases.

> Based on some informal testing we've done, it seems that creation of a local 
> index is orders of magnitude faster that creation of global indexes (17 
> seconds versus 10-20 minutes - though more data is written in the global 
> index case). Under the covers, a global index is created through the running 
> of an UPSERT SELECT. Also, UPSERT SELECT provides an easy way of copying a 
> table. In both of these cases, the data being upserted must all flow back to 
> the same client which can become a bottleneck for a large table. Instead, 
> what can be done is to push each separate, chunked UPSERT SELECT call out to 
> a different region server for execution there. One way we could implement 
> this would be to have an endpoint coprocessor push the chunked UPSERT SELECT 
> out to each region server and return the number of rows that were upserted 
> back to the client.
