stack commented on HBASE-16095: ------------------------------- Thanks [~enis]. Transactions can't be optional in phoenix. They need them to do secondary indices. We already have priority region opening pool for meta (and closing). This is another tier? For user tables and/or system tables? I like the later @ghelmling HBASE-16209 suggestion. It'd get you over your dilemma of having to support a flawed, deployed secondary index implementation. WDYT? > Add priority to TableDescriptor and priority region open thread pool > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16095 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16095 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 0.98.21 > > Attachments: HBASE-16095-0.98.patch, HBASE-16095-0.98.patch, > hbase-16095_v0.patch, hbase-16095_v1.patch, hbase-16095_v2.patch, > hbase-16095_v3.patch > > > This is in the similar area with HBASE-15816, and also required with the > current secondary indexing for Phoenix. > The problem with P secondary indexes is that data table regions depend on > index regions to be able to make progress. Possible distributed deadlocks can > be prevented via custom RpcScheduler + RpcController configuration via > HBASE-11048 and PHOENIX-938. However, region opening also has the same > deadlock situation, because data region open has to replay the WAL edits to > the index regions. There is only 1 thread pool to open regions with 3 workers > by default. So if the cluster is recovering / restarting from scratch, the > deadlock happens because some index regions cannot be opened due to them > being in the same queue waiting for data regions to open (which waits for > RPC'ing to index regions which is not open). This is reproduced in almost all > Phoenix secondary index clusters (mutable table w/o transactions) that we > see. > The proposal is to have a "high priority" region opening thread pool, and > have the HTD carry the relative priority of a table. This maybe useful for > other "framework" level tables from Phoenix, Tephra, Trafodian, etc if they > want some specific tables to become online faster. > As a follow up patch, we can also take a look at how this priority > information can be used by the rpc scheduler on the server side or rpc > controller on the client side, so that we do not have to set priorities > manually per-operation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
