Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-10015:
---------------------------------------
The 3x improvement I see for tall tables. For wider tables the improvement is
less pronounced (for 5 columns I see a 20% or so improvement).
Also a note as to why I think this should be correct: Even with the current
synchronized, a next/peek/reseek that has already started, will finish with the
old reader. That has not changed.
Need to look closer at races between close() and next/peek/reseek, as close
could be called from another thread (I think), when the lease expired.
> Major performance improvement: Avoid synchronization in StoreScanner

> Did some more profiling (this time with a sampling profiler) and
> StoreScanner.peek() showed up a lot in the samples. At first that was
> surprising, but peek is synchronized, so it seems a lot of the sync'ing cost
> is eaten there.
> It seems the only reason we have to synchronize all these methods is because
> a concurrent flush or compaction can change the scanner stack, other than
> that only a single thread should access a StoreScanner at any given time.
> So replaced updateReaders() with some code that just indicates to the scanner
> that the readers should be updated and then make it the using thread's
> responsibility to do the work.
> The perf improvement from this is staggering. I am seeing somewhere around 3x
> scan performance improvement across all scenarios.
> Now, the hard part is to reason about whether this is 100% correct. I ran
> TestAtomicOperation and TestAcidGuarantees a few times in a loop, all still
> pass.
> Will attach a sample patch.
