> Key: HBASE-16583
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16583
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Umbrella
> Reporter: Phil Yang
>
> Staged Event-Driven Architecture (SEDA) splits request-handling logic into
> several stages, each stage is executed in a thread pool and they are
> connected by queues.
> Currently, in region server we use a thread pool to handle requests from
> client. The number of handlers is configurable, reading and writing use
> different pools. The current architecture has two limitations:
> Performance:
> Different part of the handling path has different bottleneck. For example,
> accessing MemStore and cache mainly consumes CPU but accessing HDFS mainly
> consumes network/disk IO. If we use SEDA and split them into two different
> stages, we can use different numbers for two pools according to the
> CPU/disk/network performance case by case.
> Availability:
> HBASE-16388 described a scene that if the client use a thread pool and use
> blocking methods to access region server, only one slow server may exhaust
> most of threads of clients. For HBase, we are clients and HDFS datanodes are
> the servers. A slow datanode may exhaust most of handlers. The best way to
> resolve this issue is make HDFS requests non-blocking, which is exactly what
> SEDA does.
