deepankar commented on HBASE-13819: ----------------------------------- I agree with you but what I feel is in the ideal scenario the increase in the heap usage should be proportional to the number of RPCs coming right ?, when we initially allocated the heap size for BBB we accounted for the anticipated burst, but the issue that came was when the size use on the server was couple of orders of magnitude more than this (the actual response waiting to respond was around 80 MB when the total heap usage was around 3.1 GB). what do you think ? > Make RPC layer CellBlock buffer a DirectByteBuffer > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-13819 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13819 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Scanners > Reporter: Anoop Sam John > Assignee: Anoop Sam John > Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.3.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-13819.patch, HBASE-13819_branch-1.patch, > HBASE-13819_branch-1.patch, HBASE-13819_branch-1.patch, q.png > > > In RPC layer, when we make a cellBlock to put as RPC payload, we will make an > on heap byte buffer (via BoundedByteBufferPool). The pool will keep upto > certain number of buffers. This jira aims at testing possibility for making > this buffers off heap ones. (DBB) The advantages > 1. Unsafe based writes to off heap is faster than that to on heap. Now we are > not using unsafe based writes at all. Even if we add, DBB will be better > 2. When Cells are backed by off heap (HBASE-11425) off heap to off heap > writes will be better > 3. When checked the code in SocketChannel impl, if we pass a HeapByteBuffer > to the socket channel, it will create a temp DBB and copy data to there and > only DBBs will be moved to Sockets. If we make DBB 1st hand itself, we can > avoid this one more level of copying. > Will do different perf testing with changed and report back. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
