Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-12790:
----------------------------------------
This is a specific case with parallel scan (split one scan into many scans) so
I think we can do this impl only in Phoenix? HBase allows to plugin custom
scheduler. And if the new scheduler in this patch goes into Phoenix and sets
that in conf, we can achieve the same. So instead of setting groupId on Scan we
may have to pass that as an attribute in Scan. Parsing an attribute from a PB
object is having bit more overhead still not much IMO.. So we wont complicate
things in HBase.. Thoughts?
> Support fairness across parallelized scans

> Some HBase clients parallelize the execution of a scan to reduce latency in
> getting back results. This can lead to starvation with a loaded cluster and
> interleaved scans, since the RPC queue will be ordered and processed on a
> FIFO basis. For example, if there are two clients, A & B that submit largish
> scans at the same time. Say each scan is broken down into 100 scans by the
> client (broken down into equal depth chunks along the row key), and the 100
> scans of client A are queued first, followed immediately by the 100 scans of
> client B. In this case, client B will be starved out of getting any results
> back until the scans for client A complete.
> One solution to this is to use the attached AbstractRoundRobinQueue instead
> of the standard FIFO queue. The queue to be used could be (maybe it already
> is) configurable based on a new config parameter. Using this queue would
> require the client to have the same identifier for all of the 100 parallel
> scans that represent a single logical scan from the clients point of view.
> With this information, the round robin queue would pick off a task from the
> queue in a round robin fashion (instead of a strictly FIFO manner) to prevent
> starvation over interleaved parallelized scans.
