Ted Yu commented on HBASE-5778: ------------------------------- Thanks for the reminder, J-D. My question becomes: shall we introduce TestWALReplayUncompressed ? Running the patch on Linux I got: {code} testSimplePutDelete(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.TestMasterReplication) Time elapsed: 0.12 sec <<< FAILURE! java.lang.AssertionError: Waited too much time for put replication at org.junit.Assert.fail(Assert.java:93) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.TestMasterReplication.putAndWait(TestMasterReplication.java:276) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.TestMasterReplication.testSimplePutDelete(TestMasterReplication.java:213) queueFailover(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.replication.TestReplication) Time elapsed: 0.119 sec <<< FAILURE! java.lang.AssertionError: Waited too much time for queueFailover replication.

I'm not sure > WAL compression accounts for all the additional CPU usage, it might just be > that we're able to insert faster and we spend more time in the MemStore per > second (because our MemStores are bad when they contain tens of thousands of > values). > Those are two extremes, but it shows that for the price of some CPU we can > save a lot. My machines have 2 quads with HT, so I still had a lot of idle > CPUs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
