Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-11492:
---------------------------------------
No only client. This is an important finding. Let's do this in 0.94 as well
(guarded by the tcpnodelay option). Recalling now, we have seen some
inexplicable slowdown when multiplexing many client connections over a single
TCP connection (for HBase RPCs).
> The servers do not honor the tcpNoDelay option

> There is an option to set tcpNoDelay, defaulted to true, but the socket
> channel is actually not changed. As a consequence, the server works with
> nagle enabled. This leads to very degraded behavior when a single connection
> is shared between threads. We enter into conflicts with nagle and tcp delayed
> ack.
> Here is an example of performance with the PE tool plus HBASE-11491:
> {noformat}
> oneCon #client sleep exeTime (seconds)
> avg latency, sleep excluded (microseconds)
> true 1 0 31
> 310
> false 1 0 31
> 310
> true 2 0 50
> 500
> false 2 0 31
> 310
> true 2 5 488 (including 200s sleeping)
> 2880
> false 2 5 246 (including 200s sleeping)
> 460
> {noformat}
> The latency is multiple by 5 (2880 vs 460) when the connection is shared.
> This is the delayed ack kicking in. This can be fixed by really using tcp no
> delay.
> Any application sharing the tcp connection between threads has the issue.
