Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-3455:
--------------------------------------

A slight aside, but in a heavy concurrency increment-only use case we are CPU 
bound with 80% or so being used in MemStore / CSLM operations.  We are playing 
with different ways of optimizing the MemStore+Increments use case.  Today, it 
takes between 3 and 4 CSLM operations for each increment.  We should be able to 
get this down to 1 or 2, but in all likelihood this would be an increment-only 
optimization.  Rather than modifying the original bytes in place, we are making 
a new byte[] and modifying the KV to point at the new byte[].  This keeps the 
modification atomic and prevents build-up (and costly removal) of KVs.

Will file a JIRA for this.

> Stop-the-world GC pauses have long been a problem in HBase. "Concurrent mode 
> failures" can usually be tuned around by setting the initiating occupancy 
> fraction low, but eventually the heap becomes fragmented and a promotion 
> failure occurs.
> This JIRA is to do research/experiments about the heap fragmentation issue 
> and possible solutions.
