> Affects Versions: 0.20.4

> machine is an 8 core xeon with 16 GB of ram and 6TB of storage); ~250 Million
> rows;
> Reporter: Jeff Whiting

> While testing the write capacity of a 4 machine hbase cluster we were getting
> long and frequent client pauses as we attempted to load the data. Looking
> into the problem we'd get a relatively large compaction queue and when a
> region hit the "hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles" limit it would get block the
> client and the compaction request would get put on the back of the queue
> waiting for many other less important compactions. The client is basically
> stuck at that point until a compaction is done. Prioritizing the compaction
> requests and allowing the request that is blocking other actions go first
> would help solve the problem.
> You can see the problem by looking at our log files:
> You'll first see an event such as a too many HLog which will put a lot of
> requests on the compaction queue.

> Once the compaction / split is done a flush is able to happen which unblocks
> the IPC allowing writes to continue. Unfortunately this process can take
> upwards of 15+ minutes (the specific case shown here from our logs took about
> 4 minutes).
