Dave Marion commented on ACCUMULO-1755:
---------------------------------------
We could solve this by:
1. Making MutationSet.mutations a ConcurrentHashMap
2. Not synchronizing on access to TabletServerBatchWriter.mutations
3. Changing TabletServerBatchWriter.mutations to an AtomicReference so that it
is safe to swap it out in startProcessing()
4. In startProcessing(), swap in a new MutationSet then add the mutations from
the previous MutationSet to the writer.
> BatchWriter blocks all addMutation calls while binning mutations

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1755
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client
> Reporter: Adam Fuchs
>
> Through code inspection, we found that the BatchWriter bins mutations inside
> of a synchronized block that covers calls to addMutation. Binning potentially
> involves lookups of tablet metadata and processes a fair amount of
> information. We will get better parallelism if we can either unlock the lock
> while binning, dedicate another thread to do the binning, or use one of the
> send threads to do the binning.
> This has not been verified empirically yet, so there is not yet any profiling
> info to indicate the level of improvement that we should expect. Profiling
> and repeatable demonstration of this performance bottleneck should be the
> first step on this ticket.
