Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-5333: ------------------------------------------- I've done some brainstorming with Stack and the result was HBASE-5162. > Introduce Memstore "backpressure" for writes > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5333 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5333 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > > Currently if the memstore/flush/compaction cannot keep up with the writeload, > we block writers up to hbase.hstore.blockingWaitTime milliseconds (default is > 90000). > Would be nice if there was a concept of a soft "backpressure" that slows > writing clients gracefully *before* we reach this condition. > From the log: > "2012-02-04 00:00:06,963 WARN > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.MemStoreFlusher: Region > <table>,,1328313512779.c2761757621ddf8fb78baf5288d71271. has too many store > files; delaying flush up to 90000ms" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
