Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-14331:
---------------------------------------

Thanks for looking into this [~ikeda]. I usually test these things on just a 
single machine (I set up a single node HDFS, and a single node HBase on top of 
that). Especially for region server optimization such as this one, that would 
be sufficient.

Personally I would prefer a series of smaller patches. I.e. can't we just 
optionally replace the LinkedBlockingQueues used with with the SemaphoreBased* 
based ones, and then add the nice factories in a 2nd patch? But I see 
[~ram_krish] seems to like the other code you added. That's good enough :)

Questions:
Do you think that with this patch we can get rid of the multi call queue logic? 
I.e. go back have a single queue (or one for reader and one for writers).
I also really like your suggestion about not waiting when we reached the queue 
limit, but return a failure code to the client. We can easily do that with your 
semaphore approach.

> {{LinkedBlockingQueue}} well separates locks between the {{take}} method and 
> the {{put}} method, but not between takers, and not between putters. These 
> methods are implemented to take locks at the almost beginning of their logic. 
> HBASE-11355 introduces multiple call-queues to reduce such possible 
> congestion, but I doubt that it is required to stick to {{BlockingQueue}}.
> There are the other shortcomings of using {{BlockingQueue}}. When using 
> multiple queues, since {{BlockingQueue}} blocks threads it is required to 
> prepare enough threads for each queue. It is possible that there is a queue 
> starving for threads while there is another queue where threads are idle. 
> Even if you can tune parameters to avoid such situations, the tuning is not 
> so trivial.
> I suggest using a single {{ConcurrentLinkedQueue}} with {{Semaphore}}.
