I have been doing quite extensive testing of different read scenarios:

1. blockcache disabled/enabled
2. data is local/remote (no good hdfs locality)

and it turned out that that I can not saturate 1 RS using one (comparable in 
CPU power and RAM) client host:

 I am running client app with 60 read threads active (with multi-get) that is 
going to one particular RS and
this RS's load is 100 -150% (out of 3200% available) - it means that load is ~5%

All threads in RS are either in BLOCKED (wait) or in IN_NATIVE states (epoll)

I attribute this  to the HBase client implementation which seems to be not 
scalable (I am going dig into client later on today).

Some numbers: The maximum what I could get from Single get (60 threads): 30K 
per sec. Multiget gives ~ 75K (60 threads)

What are my options? I want to measure the limits and I do not want to run 
Cluster of clients against just ONE Region Server?

RS config: 96GB RAM, 16(32) CPU
Client     : 48GB RAM   8 (16) CPU
