Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-2957:
--------------------------------------
bq. but do you want the solution generalized so that it works for a workload
that does lots of "puts" into the same record?
Absolutely. I think the solution you are proposing (which to me looks to be
the same as what Todd suggests) makes sense and we should do it.
However, ICV has a completely different codepath and I think Prakash was
specifically thinking about this use case.
We should tackle both, maybe open a separate JIRA for ICV and make this one
about a normal Put?
> Release row lock when waiting for wal-sync

> Key: HBASE-2957
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2957
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: regionserver, wal
> Affects Versions: 0.20.0
> Reporter: Prakash Khemani
>
> Is there a reason to hold on to the row-lock while waiting for the WAL-sync
> to be completed by the logSyncer thread?
> I think data consistency will be guaranteed even if the following happens (a)
> the row lock is held while the row is updated in memory (b) the row lock is
> released after queuing the KV record for WAL-syncing (c) the log-sync system
> guarantees that the log records for any given row are synced in order (d) the
> HBase client only receives a success notification after the sync completes
> (no change from the current state)
> I think this should be a huge win. For my use case, and I am sure for others,
> the handler thread spends the bulk of its row-lock critical section time
> waiting for sync to complete.
> Even if the log-sync system cannot guarantee the orderly completion of sync
> records, the "Don't hold row lock while waiting for sync" option should be
> available to HBase clients on a per request basis.
