Sahil Takiar updated HDFS-14304:
--------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> High lock contention on hdfsHashMutex in libhdfs
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-14304
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14304
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs-client, libhdfs, native
> Reporter: Sahil Takiar
> Assignee: Sahil Takiar
> Priority: Major
>
> While doing some performance profiling of an application using libhdfs, we
> noticed a high amount of lock contention on the {{hdfsHashMutex}} defined in
> {{hadoop-hdfs-native-client/src/main/native/libhdfs/os/mutexes.h}}
> The issue is that every JNI method invocation done by {{hdfs.c}} goes through
> a helper method called {{invokeMethod}}. {{invokeMethod}} calls
> {{globalClassReference}} which acquires {{hdfsHashMutex}} while performing a
> lookup in a {{htable}} (a custom hash table that lives in {{libhdfs/common}})
> (the lock is acquired for both reads and writes). The hash table maps {{char
> *className}} to {{jclass}} objects, it seems the goal of the hash table is to
> avoid repeatedly creating {{jclass}} objects for each JNI call.
> For multi-threaded applications, this lock severely limits that rate at which
> Java methods can be invoked. pstacks show a lot of time being spent on
> {{hdfsHashMutex}}
