Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4010:
-------------------------------
I did some initial performance test on a cluster with 7 region servers (4GB
heap).
OS is:
{noformat}
Linux ciq.com 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux
{noformat}
Creating table with 1000 regions took 37 seconds pre-4010
It took 32 seconds with 4010-0.90.txt applied.
> HMaster.createTable could be heavily optimized

> Looking at the createTable method in HMaster (the one that's private), we
> seem to be very inefficient:
> - We set the enabled flag for the table for every region (should be done
> only once).
> - Every time we create a new region we create a new HLog and then close it
> (reuse one instead or see if it's really necessary).
> - We do one RPC to .META. per region (we should batch put).
> This should provide drastic speedups even for those creating tables with just
> 50 regions.
