Dear All, Requesting for help on the async thrift protocol for non-blocking streaming mode, would greatly appreciate any input on the issue outlined in the thread below. Putting a wait/delay defeats the purpose of using the async capability. Please help.

I am trying to use HBase Thrift API (not using Thrift2 yet) in a nonblocking and async mode to insert a bulk of records. I am sharing the set of steps for everyone's information and setting the context to my problem Please find below the code that I am using for initializing the async client TBinaryProtocol.Factory binProtoFactory=new TBinaryProtocol.Factory(); TAsyncClientManager clientManager=null; TNonblockingSocket nonBlockingSocket=null; try { clientManager=new TAsyncClientManager(); } catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } try { nonBlockingSocket=new TNonblockingSocket(HOST_NAME,PORT_NUMBER); } catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } And, I am initializing the client as shown below Hbase.AsyncClient client=new Hbase.AsyncClient(binProtoFactory, clientManager, nonBlockingSocket); I could see two ways of using the client, i.e. one client for all the records to be inserted or separate instance of client for every record. I thought since this is a non-blocking channel, it would make sense to initialize 1 client for all the requests, since all the requests would be streamed using a framed transport. // 1 async client for all the requests Hbase.AsyncClient client=new Hbase.AsyncClient(binProtoFactory, clientManager, nonBlockingSocket); // mutate rows called in a loop to insert multiple records, using the same client client.mutateRow(table, ByteBuffer.wrap(key), mutations,mutationAttributes,new HBaseInsertAsyncHandler()); But soon I found that I was wrong as I got back the following error. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Client is currently executing another method: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.thrift.generated.Hbase$AsyncClient$mutateRow_call at org.apache.thrift.async.TAsyncClient.checkReady(TAsyncClient.java:78) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.thrift.generated.Hbase$AsyncClient.mutateRow(Hbase.java:2714) Reading through the following JIRA educated me a bit more on this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-945 So, I changed my code to initialize the client per record to be inserted. //called both these statements for every record to be inserted in a loop Hbase.AsyncClient client=new Hbase.AsyncClient(binProtoFactory, clientManager, nonBlockingSocket); client.mutateRow(table, ByteBuffer.wrap(key), mutations,mutationAttributes,new HBaseInsertAsyncHandler()); Even this failed with the following error 2012-11-19 17:25:15,275 WARN [TAsyncClientManager#SelectorThread 9] async.TAsyncClientManager (TAsyncClientManager.java:startPendingMethods(177)) - Caught exception in TAsyncClientManager! java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException at java.nio.channels.spi.AbstractSelectableChannel.register(AbstractSelectableChannel.java:167) at java.nio.channels.SelectableChannel.register(SelectableChannel.java:254) at org.apache.thrift.transport.TNonblockingSocket.registerSelector(TNonblockingSocket.java:99) at org.apache.thrift.async.TAsyncMethodCall.start(TAsyncMethodCall.java:141) at org.apache.thrift.async.TAsyncClientManager$SelectThread.startPendingMethods(TAsyncClientManager.java:169) at org.apache.thrift.async.TAsyncClientManager$SelectThread.run(TAsyncClientManager.java:114) So, it looked to me as if the channel registration could not happen in time for it to get initialized and since the records are getting inserted in a loop, it possibly needs a time window for initialization to get complete and insert the record. So I had to introduce a delay for every such insertion, which I do not prefer to do. The code changes for that are as shown below Hbase.AsyncClient client=new Hbase.AsyncClient(binProtoFactory, clientManager, nonBlockingSocket); client.mutateRow(table, ByteBuffer.wrap(key), mutations,mutationAttributes,new HBaseInsertAsyncHandler()); synchronized (client.getProtocolFactory()) { client.getProtocolFactory().wait(20); } With the above change, I could see the records getting inserted into HBase using async thrift client, but I think this is not the right solution and will look for some guidance from the community to have a more consistent way to utilize the the async thrift capability without any specific wait or sleep times, as putting a wait call, kills the async advantage and introduces delays in the overall throughput. Looking forward for your help.
