Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5778:
--------------------------------------
If I revert this change TestReplication always passes locally in 0.94, whereas
with this patch is never passed (so far - and it did pass only once in many
runs with the increased SLEEP_TIME).
I would be more comfortable if the patch was reverted from 0.94. I know this is
frustrating, but I would like to spin 0.94.4 soon (hopefully by tomorrow). We
can put this back into 0.94.5.

> I ran some tests to verify if WAL compression should be turned on by default.
> For a use case where it's not very useful (values two order of magnitude
> bigger than the keys), the insert time wasn't different and the CPU usage 15%
> higher (150% CPU usage VS 130% when not compressing the WAL).
> When values are smaller than the keys, I saw a 38% improvement for the insert
> run time and CPU usage was 33% higher (600% CPU usage VS 450%). 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.
