stack commented on HBASE-2945:
------------------------------

bq. The LRU is currently backed by a ConcurrentHashMap and I don't think 
there's a way to use byte[] on that...

Yes, we'd need to make a class to wrap byte array and used memcmp for 
comparator.

bq. I think if we are going to do a revamp of the block cache we should come up 
with a good set of benchmarks to run.

+1

bq. Also, we should review the high/low watermark values. I made those up 
rather arbitrarily.

And they should evolve with the loading if possible.  If read-only loading, 
give over more of heap to block cache.  Revive a soft references cache?  I 
couldn't make it work w/o OOME'ing before but that was a good while back.





> stop using string for block name in LRU block cache/hfile

>
> all my profiling runs indicate there is a large number of string/char[] 
> objects and string manipulation is taking a long time in profiling runs.  
> These come from the LRU block cache, block id.  Also we should support the 
> eviction of blocks belonging to particular hfiles, and the current code 
> doesn't help with that right now.
> Let's do something better.  Whatever that might be.
