stack updated HBASE-1597:
-------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed]
Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available)
Patch looks good. Tested it with upload. Logs look fine. Committing.... (Rolled
up lrublockcache stats logging into one log message instead of 3 as part of
commit).
> Prevent unnecessary caching of blocks during compactions

> Key: HBASE-1597

> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.20.0
> Reporter: Jonathan Gray
> Assignee: Jonathan Gray
> Fix For: 0.20.0

> Attachments: HBASE-1597-v1.patch, HBASE-1597-v2.patch

>
> When running any kind of compaction, we read every block of every storefile
> being compacted into the block cache.
> We would like to reuse any already cached blocks, if available, but otherwise
> we should not bog down the LRU with unnecessary blocks.
> This is not as bad as it was with the old LRU because the latest LRU
> implementation (HBASE-1460) is scan-resistant. This ensures that we are not
> causing massive eviction of the blocks that are being read multiple times or
> from in-memory tables. However, this does add to the GC-woes of an import
> because each block gets further referenced, and for longer periods of time.
> There is also overhead in running the LRU evictions.
