Ashu Pachauri updated HBASE-15102:
----------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-15102-V3.patch
V3: Fixed checkstyle issues except the indentation ones (mainly because
checkstyle reports no errors when I run it locally, not sure why).
> HeapMemoryTuner can "overtune" memstore size and suddenly drop it into
> blocking zone

>
> DefaultHeapMemoryTuner often resets the maximum step size for tuning to 8% of
> total heap size. Often, when the size of memstore is to be decreased while
> tuning, the 8% tuning can suddenly drop the memstore size below the low water
> mark of the previous memstore size (which could potentially be the used size
> of the memstore)
> This is problematic because suddenly it blocks all the updates by suddenly
> causing a situation where memstore used size is above high water mark. This
> has a very bad performance impact on an otherwise fine HBase cluster.
