             Summary: Parallel Flushing Of Memstores
                 Key: HBASE-6980
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6980
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Kannan Muthukkaruppan
            Assignee: Kannan Muthukkaruppan


For write dominated workloads, single threaded memstore flushing is an 
unnecessary bottleneck. With a single flusher thread, we are basically not 
setup to take advantage of the aggregate throughput that multi-disk nodes 
provide.

* For puts with WAL enabled, the bottleneck is more likely the "single" WAL per 
region server. So this particular fix may not buy as much unless we unlock that 
bottleneck with multiple commit logs per region server. [Topic for a separate 
JIRA.]

* But for puts with WAL disabled (e.g., when using HBASE-5783 style fast bulk 
imports), we should be able to support much better ingest rates with parallel 
flushing of memstores.
