Hmm... So that theory is out. Anything strange in the logs? You have 13 region server and 13 data nodes colocated on the same machines, I assume.
The Gets are actually sent to the involved region server in parallel, so anything more than a few milliseconds is suspect. How big are the rows/columns that you are retrieving? Does this change in any way if you major_compact your table? -- Lars ________________________________ From: kiran <kiran.sarvabho...@gmail.com> To: user@hbase.apache.org; lars hofhansl <la...@apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 10:42 PM Subject: Re: Miserable Performance of gets Describe output of the table on which I am doing batch gets {NAME => 'XXXXXXX', FAMILIES => [{NAME => 'XXXXX', DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'NONE', BLOOMFILTER => 'ROW', true TTL => '2147483647', IN_MEMORY => 'false', REPLICATION_SCOPE => '0', VERSIONS => '1', COMPRESSION => 'SNAP PY', MIN_VERSIONS => '1', COMPRESSION_COMPACT => 'SNAPPY', KEEP_DELETED_CELLS => 'false', BLOCKSIZE => '655 36', ENCODE_ON_DISK => 'true', BLOCKCACHE => 'true'}]} On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 12:08 PM, kiran <kiran.sarvabho...@gmail.com> wrote: Yes I have mistaken for regionsize.
