Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-10015:
---------------------------------------
Will add those options. All the tests run at least 15s, though.
Oh, also rereading your comment above... I saw the most significant improvement
per row (i.e. with 5 CQ you'd see less of an improvement). This very much looks
like it is an interaction between KeyValueHeap and StoreScanner, where the cost
seems to be mostly per row, rather than KeyValue.
> 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.
