Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-801:
------------------------------------

Anything is possible but multiple instances of NodeTableCache have some issues 
to address to be effective:

# There is still one underlying NodeTableNative that is the actual storage.
# The Node cache is also the lock controller for the storage layer.
# Inefficient use of space with copies of the same thing.

It is essential that the same RDF term has the same NodeId in any given TDB 
database.

The Guava cache code allows concurrent access and is thread-safe. It works in a 
similar to ConcurrentHashMap, segmenting the cache space into a controllable 
number of independent section to give concurrent access especially on look up 
(which is what the majority of access is).  It also happens to have a better 
design for cache-miss-load-cache that may reduce the need for other locking.

> We were testing our server with repositories of varied sizes and in almost 
> all the cases when the server peaks its capacity (of maximum number of users 
> it can support), It seems like the queries are piling up because of the lock 
> contention in NodeTableCache.
> Here are some details about the repository..
> size of indices on disk - 150GB
> type of hard disk used - SSD and HDD with high RAM (seeing the same result in 
> both the cases)
> OS - Linux
> Details on the user load;
> We are trying to simulate a very active user load where all the users are 
> executing many usecases that would result in many queries and updates on TDB.
> I would like to know what are the possible solutions to work around and avoid 
> this situation. I am thinking of the following, please let me know if there 
> is any other way to work around this bottleneck.
> Control the updates to the triple store so that we only do it when there are 
> not many queries pending. We would have to experiment how this impact the 
> usecases..
> Is there any other way to make this lock contention go away? Can we have 
> multiple instances of this cache? For example many (90%) of our queries are 
> executed with a query scope (per project). So, can we have a separate 
> NodeTable cache for each query scope (project in our case) and one for 
> global?
