Jim Kellerman commented on HADOOP-2139: --------------------------------------- Strategy: Associate memcache with HStore instead of HRegion - reduces contention between most other ops and scanners. If a scanner is open on a memcache, and an update arrives, push the memcache on a stack and create a new memcache for the update. This is unlikely to cause the generation of a lot of memcaches since scanners don't get created nearly as often. All operations other than Split lock the region for read. Locks for portions of a region will be contended at the column level. Splits need to lock the region for write since this is the only operation that cannot proceed in parallel with others. > [hbase] Increase parallelism in region servers > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2139 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/hbase > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Jim Kellerman > Assignee: Jim Kellerman > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > There are a number of paths in the region server which block against one > another including: > - log rolling > - cache flushes > - region splitting > - updates > - scanners > Investigate which can proceed in parallel and mechanisms for making some > operations that currently do not run in parallel. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
