stack commented on HBASE-24:
----------------------------
Hey Luo Ning:
So I understand correctly, you are saying that rather than a timeout of 0 for
dfs.datanode.socket.write.timeout as we suggest elsewhere, you say that it
should be set say to the current default of 8 minutes?
Also, rather than keep raising the xceiverCount as more regions are added,
you're saying that it should be bounded -- at the current default of 256? --
otherwise the OOME about can't create thread, etc?
How many regions per server with your patch in place Luo Ning?
Thanks

> We've been here before (HADOOP-2341).
> Today the rapleaf gave me an lsof listing from a regionserver. Had thousands
> of open sockets to datanodes all in ESTABLISHED and CLOSE_WAIT state. On
> average they seem to have about ten file descriptors/sockets open per region
> (They have 3 column families IIRC. Per family, can have between 1-5 or so
> mapfiles open per family -- 3 is max... but compacting we open a new one,
> etc.).
> They have thousands of regions. 400 regions -- ~100G, which is not that
> much -- takes about 4k open file handles.
> If they want a regionserver to server a decent disk worths -- 300-400G --
> then thats maybe 1600 regions... 16k file handles. If more than just 3
> column families..... then we are in danger of blowing out limits if they are
> 32k.
> We've been here before with HADOOP-2341.
> A dfsclient that used non-blocking i/o would help applications like hbase
> (The datanode doesn't have this problem as bad -- CLOSE_WAIT on regionserver
> side, the bulk of the open fds in the rapleaf log, don't have a corresponding
> open resource on datanode end).
> Could also just open mapfiles as needed, but that'd kill our random read
> performance and its bad enough already.
