Dave Marion commented on ACCUMULO-1755:
---------------------------------------
No performance numbers, just seeing BLOCKED threads in a stack trace :-). I'll
see what I can do about getting some performance numbers with and without my
final patch. Do you think continuous ingest would be a good framework for this?
> BatchWriter blocks all addMutation calls while binning mutations

> Key: ACCUMULO-1755
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1755
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client
> Reporter: Adam Fuchs
> Assignee: Dave Marion
>
> 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.
