stack commented on HBASE-15493:
-------------------------------
Agreed user will not know what to do w/ this new API "Save an unknown and
unmeasurable amount of resources serverside by setting this value... " This is
not the sort of stuff we should be bothering our users with. Before you know, a
mythology will build up that playing with this setting is the difference
between cluster life and death. Lets just do the work serverside for the user
and not bother them with such minuitae.
> Default ArrayList size may not be optimal for Mutation

> List<Cell> getCellList(byte[] family) {
> List<Cell> list = this.familyMap.get(family);
> if (list == null) {
> list = new ArrayList<Cell>();
> }
> return list;
> }
> {code}
> Creates list of size 10, this is up to 80 bytes per column family in mutation
> object.
> Suggested:
> {code}
> List<Cell> getCellList(byte[] family) {
> List<Cell> list = this.familyMap.get(family);
> if (list == null) {
> list = new ArrayList<Cell>(CELL_LIST_INITIAL_CAPACITY);
> }
> return list;
> }
> {code}
> CELL_LIST_INITIAL_CAPACITY = 2 in the patch, this is debatable. For mutation
> where every CF has 1 cell, this gives decent reduction in memory allocation
> rate in both client and server during write workload. ~2%, not a big number,
> but as I said, already, memory optimization will include many small steps.
