Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-14098: --------------------------------------- Awesome! Cache flush stalls can also be avoided by configuring the Linux disk cache. Could you do a {{sysctl -a | grep dirty}} on one of the boxes and paste vm.dirty_background_ratio, vm.dirty_background_bytes, and vm.dirty_ratio here? Just curious :) Your previous comment made sense anyway. Caching anything that is usually read sequentially and larger than the available RAM never makes sense. > Allow dropping caches behind compactions > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14098 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14098 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Compaction, hadoop2, HFile > Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.3.0 > Reporter: Elliott Clark > Assignee: Elliott Clark > Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.3.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-14098-v1.patch, HBASE-14098.patch > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
