Hi Todd, I am afraid I no longer have the broken setup around, because we really need a working one right now. We need to demo at a conference next week and until after that, all changes are frozen both on dev and prod (so we can use dev as fall back). Later on I could maybe try some more things on our dev boxes.
If you are doing a repro, here's the stuff you'd probably want to know: The workload is write only. No reads happening at the same time. No other active clients. It is an initial import of data. We do insertions in a MR job from the reducers. The total volume is about 11 billion puts across roughly 450K rows per table (we have a many columns per row data model) across 15 tables, all use LZO. Qualifiers are some 50 bytes. Values range from a small number of KBs generally to MBs in rare cases. The row keys have a time-related part at the start, so I know the keyspace in advance, so I create the empty tables with pre-created regions (40 regions) across the keyspace to get decent distribution from the start of the job. In order to not overload HBase, I run the job with only 15 reducers, so there are max 15 concurrent clients active. Other settnigs: max file size is 1GB, HFile block size is default 64K, client side buffer is 16M, memstore flush size is 128M, compaction threshold is 5, blocking store files is 9, mem store upper limit is 20%, lower limit 15%, block cache 40%. During the run, the RSes never report more than 5GB of heap usage from the UI, which makes sense, because block cache is not touched. On a healthy run with somewhat conservative settings right now, HBase reports on average about 380K requests per second in the master UI. The cluster has 8 workers running TT, DN, RS and another JVM process for our own software that sits in front of HBase. Workers are dual quad cores with 64GB RAM and 10x 600GB disks (we decided to scale the amount of seeks we can do concurrently). Disks are quite fast: 10K RPM. MR task VMs get 1GB of heap, TT and DN also. RS gets 16GB of heap and our own software too. We run 8 mappers and 4 reducers per node. So at absolute max, we should have 46GB of allocated heap. That leaves 18GB for JVM overhead, native allocations and OS. We run Linux 2.6.18-194.11.4.el5. I think it is CentOS, but I didn't do the installs myself. I tried numerous different settings both more extreme and more conservative to get the thing working, but in the end it always ends up swapping. I should have tried a run without LZO, of course, but I was out of time by then.
