Alex Newman commented on HBASE-24:
----------------------------------
+ conf); // defer opening streams
is in the patch. Are we actually still defering. That seems wrong.

> We've been here before (HADOOP-2341).
> Today the rapleaf gave me an lsof listing from a regionserver. Had thousands
> of open sockets to datanodes all in ESTABLISHED and CLOSE_WAIT state. On
> average they seem to have about ten file descriptors/sockets open per region
> (They have 3 column families IIRC. Per family, can have between 1-5 or so
> mapfiles open per family -- 3 is max... but compacting we open a new one,
> etc.).
> They have thousands of regions. 400 regions -- ~100G, which is not that
> much -- takes about 4k open file handles.
> If they want a regionserver to server a decent disk worths -- 300-400G --
> then thats maybe 1600 regions... 16k file handles. If more than just 3
> column families..... then we are in danger of blowing out limits if they are
> 32k.
> We've been here before with HADOOP-2341.
> A dfsclient that used non-blocking i/o would help applications like hbase
> (The datanode doesn't have this problem as bad -- CLOSE_WAIT on regionserver
> side, the bulk of the open fds in the rapleaf log, don't have a corresponding
> open resource on datanode end).
> Could also just open mapfiles as needed, but that'd kill our random read
> performance and its bad enough already.
