Dave Latham commented on HBASE-3894:
------------------------------------
bq. Do we need HashedBytes? Was it you who said that wrapping the byte array in
a ByteBuffer would do what we want?
There's also a guava issue that may allow us to get rid of it at some point.

> HRegion maintains a set of row locks. Whenever any thread attempts to lock
> or release a row it needs to acquire the monitor on that set. We've been
> encountering cases with 30 handler threads all contending for that monitor,
> blocked progress on the region server. Clients timeout, and retry making it
> worse, and the region server stops responding to new clients almost entirely.
