ramkrishna.s.vasudevan updated HBASE-13082:
-------------------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-13082_14.patch
The test failure seems unrelated
{code}
TEST-org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.TestMasterObserver.xml.<init>
{code}
Other test cases related to region replicas also seems to run fine.
The checkstyle comments (minor) have been fixed. Submitting once again for QA.

> Continuing where HBASE-10015 left of.
> We can avoid locking (and memory fencing) inside StoreScanner by deferring to
> the lock already held by the RegionScanner.
> In tests this shows quite a scan improvement and reduced CPU (the fences make
> the cores wait for memory fetches).
> There are some drawbacks too:
> * All calls to RegionScanner need to be remain synchronized
> * Implementors of coprocessors need to be diligent in following the locking
> contract. For example Phoenix does not lock RegionScanner.nextRaw() and
> required in the documentation (not picking on Phoenix, this one is my fault
> as I told them it's OK)
> * possible starving of flushes and compaction with heavy read load.
> RegionScanner operations would keep getting the locks and the
> flushes/compactions would not be able finalize the set of files.
> I'll have a patch soon.
