Todd Lipcon created HBASE-5898: ---------------------------------- Summary: Consider double-checked locking for block cache lock Key: HBASE-5898 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5898 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Components: performance Affects Versions: 0.94.1 Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Running a workload with a high query rate against a dataset that fits in cache, I saw a lot of CPU being used in IdLock.getLockEntry, being called by HFileReaderV2.readBlock. Even though it was all cache hits, it was wasting a lot of CPU doing lock management here. I wrote a quick patch to switch to a double-checked locking and it improved throughput substantially for this workload. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
