ryan rawson commented on HBASE-2248:
------------------------------------
i have a prototype implementation of how to fix the atomic read without using
locking or copying. I'll put up a patch within a few days. It's a little
subtle, but put simply it uses sequential "Timestamps" to internally version
the memstore so people know to ignore half written rows.
> New MemStoreScanner copies memstore for each scan, makes short scans slow

>
> HBASE-2037 introduced a new MemStoreScanner which triggers a
> ConcurrentSkipListMap.buildFromSorted clone of the memstore and snapshot when
> starting a scan.
> After upgrading to 0.20.3, we noticed a big slowdown in our use of short
> scans. Some of our data repesent a time series. The data is stored in time
> series order, MR jobs often insert/update new data at the end of the series,
> and queries usually have to pick up some or all of the series. These are
> often scans of 0-100 rows at a time. To load one page, we'll observe about
> 20 such scans being triggered concurrently, and they take 2 seconds to
> complete. Doing a thread dump of a region server shows many threads in
> ConcurrentSkipListMap.biuldFromSorted which traverses the entire map of key
> values to copy it.
