Jingcheng Du commented on HBASE-15338: -------------------------------------- Agree with [~anoopsamjohn]. Most of the cache settings can be set by Configuration in CacheConfig. The cache on read can be disabled in Get/Scan. Is this enough? Otherwise, is it ok to just make the cache on read configurable? Or use 0 as the block cache size for that RS/HM? > Add a option to disable the data block cache for testing the performance of > underlying file system > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-15338 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15338 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: integration tests > Reporter: Liu Shaohui > Assignee: Liu Shaohui > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HBASE-15338-trunk-v1.diff > > > When testing and comparing the performance of different file systems(HDFS, > Azure blob storage, AWS S3 and so on) for HBase, it's better to avoid the > affect of the HBase BlockCache and get the actually random read latency when > data block is read from underlying file system. (Usually, the index block and > meta block should be cached in memory in the testing). > So we add a option in CacheConfig to disable the data block cache. > Suggestions are welcomed~ Thanks -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
