Eric Newton resolved ACCUMULO-733. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed added documentation with revision 1431485 > add description of the BatchWriter behavior > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-733 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-733 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Bug > Components: docs > Reporter: Eric Newton > Assignee: Eric Newton > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 1.5.0 > > > Keith Turner wrote up a nice description of the BatchWriter on the gora > mailing list. I think it deserves to be in the BatchWriter documentation: > {quote} > When the user creates a > BatchWriter to write to Accumulo they specify how much memory and how > many threads it should use. As the user adds mutations to the batch > writer it buffers them. Once the buffered mutations have used half of > the user specified, the mutations are dumped into the background to be > written by a thread pool. If the user specified memory completely > fills up, then writes are held. When a user calls flush, it does not > return until all buffered mutations are written. > {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
