ramkrishna.s.vasudevan updated PHOENIX-180:
-------------------------------------------
Attachment: Phoenix-180_WIP.patch
A patch that does the things mentioned in the JIRA
-> Creates a stats table
-> collects min, max keys and guide posts for a region.
-> Does not use STatsmanager.
-> PTable.getPTableStats() is getting used.
Needs more testing. More test cases to prove things are working as expected.
Existing testcases still go with the Bytes.split().
Ensure that we are able decide a proper configuration for the depth of the
guide posts. Just attaching a patch for initial feedback.
> Use stats to guide query parallelization

> We're currently not using stats, beyond a table-wide min key/max key cached
> per client connection, to guide parallelization. If a query targets just a
> few regions, we don't know how to evenly divide the work among threads,
> because we don't know the data distribution. This other [issue]
> (https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix/issues/64) is targeting gather and
> maintaining the stats, while this issue is focused on using the stats.
> The main changes are:
> 1. Create a PTableStats interface that encapsulates the stats information
> (and implements the Writable interface so that it can be serialized back from
> the server).
> 2. Add a stats member variable off of PTable to hold this.
> 3. From MetaDataEndPointImpl, lookup the stats row for the table in the stats
> table. If the stats have changed, return a new PTable with the updated stats
> information. We may want to cache the stats row and have the stats gatherer
> invalidate the cache row when updated so we don't have to always do a scan
> for it. Additionally, it would be idea if we could use the same split policy
> on the stats table that we use on the system table to guarantee co-location
> of data (for the sake of caching).
> - modify the client-side parallelization (ParallelIterators.getSplits()) to
> use this information to guide how to chunk up the scans at query time.
> This should help boost query performance, especially in cases where the data
> is highly skewed. It's likely the cause for the slowness reported in this
> issue: https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix/issues/47.
