Varun Sharma created HBASE-7295: ----------------------------------- Summary: Contention in HBaseClient.getConnection Key: HBASE-7295 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7295 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 0.94.3 Reporter: Varun Sharma Assignee: Varun Sharma
HBaseClient.getConnection() synchronizes on the connections object. We found severe contention on a thrift gateway which was fanning out roughly 3000+ calls per second to hbase region servers. The thrift gateway had 2000+ threads for handling incoming connections. Threads were blocked on the syncrhonized block - we set ipc.pool.size to 200. Since we are using RoundRobin/ThreadLocal pool only - its not necessary to synchronize on connections - it might lead to cases where we might go slightly over the ipc.max.pool.size() but the additional connections would timeout after maxIdleTime - underlying PoolMap connections object is thread safe. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
