Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7008: -------------------------------------- Did some quick unscientific testing (with Nagles disabled!): rows with 1 column (100 bytes): ||Caching||ms/row|| |1|0.17| |10|0.03| |100|0.006| |1000|0.003| |2000|0.003| |5000|0.002| |10000|0.002| rows with 10 columns (100 bytes each) in a single column family: ||Caching||ms/row|| |1|0.3| |10|0.2 **| |100|0.05| |1000|0.03| |2000|0.02| |5000|0.02| |10000|0.02| (**) Must have crossed a packet size boundary (localhost packet size is 65k) rows with 10 columns (1000 bytes each) in a single column family: ||Caching||ms/row|| |1|1| |10|0.5| |100|0.2| |1000|0.09| |2000|0.08| |5000|0.07| |10000|0.1| rows with 100 columns (1000 bytes each) in a single column family: ||Caching||ms/row|| |1|16| |10|1.6| |100|0.8| |1000|0.7| |2000|**| (**) Crashed the RegionServer in the default setting (OOM?) rows with 100 columns (10000 bytes each - so 1mb rows) in a single column family: ||Caching||ms/row|| |1|28| |10|8| |100|8| |1000|**| (**) Anything over 150 crashed the RegionServer in the default setting (OOM?) This was all done with client and server on the same machine, so worst case for a larger cache setting. If the client is further away these effects will be much more pronounced. So it seems a 100 would be a good default value to start with. > Set scanner caching to a better default > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7008 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7008 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Client > Reporter: liang xie > Assignee: liang xie > Fix For: 0.94.3, 0.96.0 > > Attachments: 7008-0.94.txt, 7008-0.94-v2.txt, 7008-v3.txt, > 7008-v4.txt, HBASE-7008.patch, HBASE-7008-v2.patch > > > per > http://search-hadoop.com/m/qaRu9iM2f02/Set+scanner+caching+to+a+better+default%253F&subj=Set+scanner+caching+to+a+better+default+ > let's set to 100 by default -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
