Abhilash commented on HBASE-13876:
----------------------------------
I am trying to use evictCount to decide wether I should revert or not because
because thats strong indicator that cache size is insufficient and I am using
missRatio to do performance tuning as missRation is not a direct indicator of
that cache size is insufficient but it is a parameter that we would like to
improve for better performance.

> I am trying to improve the performance of DefaultHeapMemoryTuner by
> introducing some more checks. The current checks under which the
> DefaultHeapMemoryTuner works are very rare so I am trying to weaken these
> checks to improve its performance.
> Check current memstore size and current block cache size. If we are using
> less than 50% of currently available block cache size we say block cache is
> sufficient and same for memstore. This check will be very effective when
> server is either load heavy or write heavy. Earlier version just waited for
> number of evictions / number of flushes to be zero which are very rare.
> Otherwise based on percent change in number of cache misses and number of
> flushes we increase / decrease memory provided for caching / memstore. After
> doing so, on next call of HeapMemoryTuner we verify that last change has
> indeed decreased number of evictions / flush ( combined). I am doing this
> analysis by comparing percent change (which is basically nothing but
> normalized derivative) of number of evictions and number of flushes during
> last two periods. The main motive for doing this was that if we have random
> reads then we will be having a lot of cache misses. But even after increasing
> block cache we wont be able to decrease number of cache misses and we will
> revert back and eventually we will not waste memory on block caches. This
> will also help us ignore random short term spikes in reads / writes.
