Is your data all in the blockcache, otherwise you might have run into HBASE-7336 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7336).Fixed 0.94.4. I assume you have enough handlers, etc. (i.e. does the same happen if issue multiple scan request across different region of the same region server?)

I'm on 0.94.2. If I execute in parallel multiple scans to different parts of the same region, they appear to be processed serially. It's actually faster from the client side to execute a single serial scan than it is to execute multiple parallel scans to different segments of the region. I do have region observer coprocessors for the table I'm scanning, but my code is not doing any synchronization. Is there a known limitation in this area? Anyone else see anything similar? James
