Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7404:
--------------------------------------
Thanks [~zjushch]. I do understand the aim of the patch. :)
This does replace the LruCache when you enable it, right? (for all but meta
blocks)
I.e. you cannot use the BucketCache for some data blocks and the LruCache for
some other data blocks. That is the reason why this cannot be generally enabled.
If the bucket cache was in addition to the LruCache as a "cold" cache or L2
cache then it would be a different story (for example, say you have a machine
with 128 or 256gb or ram, currently HBase cannot make use of that except for as
OS buffer cache, if some of this memory could be given to the bucket cache
while the LruCache would still be used as before we could always enable this).
That appears to be the aim of HBASE-8894.

> First, thanks @neil from Fusion-IO share the source code.
> Usage:
> 1.Use bucket cache as main memory cache, configured as the following:
> –"hbase.bucketcache.ioengine" "heap"
> –"hbase.bucketcache.size" 0.4 (size for bucket cache, 0.4 is a percentage of
> max heap size)
> 2.Use bucket cache as a secondary cache, configured as the following:
> –"hbase.bucketcache.ioengine" "file:/disk1/hbase/cache.data"(The file path
> where to store the block data)
> –"hbase.bucketcache.size" 1024 (size for bucket cache, unit is MB, so 1024
> means 1GB)
> –"hbase.bucketcache.combinedcache.enabled" false (default value being true)
> See more configurations from org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.CacheConfig and
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.bucket.BucketCache
> What's Bucket Cache?
> It could greatly decrease CMS and heap fragment by GC
> It support a large cache space for High Read Performance by using high speed
> disk like Fusion-io
> 1.An implementation of block cache like LruBlockCache
> 2.Self manage blocks' storage position through Bucket Allocator
> 3.The cached blocks could be stored in the memory or file system
> 4.Bucket Cache could be used as a mainly block cache(see CombinedBlockCache),
> combined with LruBlockCache to decrease CMS and fragment by GC.
> 5.BucketCache also could be used as a secondary cache(e.g. using Fusionio to
> store block) to enlarge cache space
> How about SlabCache?
> We have studied and test SlabCache first, but the result is bad, because:
> 1.SlabCache use SingleSizeCache, its use ratio of memory is low because kinds
> of block size, especially using DataBlockEncoding
> 2.SlabCache is uesd in DoubleBlockCache, block is cached both in SlabCache
> and LruBlockCache, put the block to LruBlockCache again if hit in SlabCache ,
> it causes CMS and heap fragment don't get any better
> 3.Direct heap performance is not good as heap, and maybe cause OOM, so we
> recommend using "heap" engine
