stack commented on HBASE-16388:
-------------------------------
[~yangzhe1991] Can this be on by default rather than require config to enable?
Maybe on by default in master but in branch-1, you have to enable it? It is
already 'complaining' loudly when up against the limit by throwing the
ServerBusyException but maybe add that we are up against config limit in the
message and config to set to up limit in the SBE message ... and that the SBE
is coming from client-side rather than server (may not be immediately obvious)?
Nice test.
Needs a release note because this is important issue w/ nice fix.
Thanks

> It is a general use case for HBase's users that they have several
> threads/handlers in their service, and each handler has its own Table/HTable
> instance. Generally users think each handler is independent and won't
> interact each other.
> However, in an extreme case, if a region server is very slow, every requests
> to this RS will timeout, handlers of users' service may be occupied by the
> long-waiting requests even requests belong to other RS will also be timeout.
> For example:
> If we have 100 handlers in a client service(timeout is 1000ms) and HBase has
> 10 region servers whose average response time is 50ms. If no region server is
> slow, we can handle 2000 requests per second.
> Now this service's QPS is 1000. If there is one region server very slow and
> all requests to it will be timeout. Users hope that only 10% requests failed,
> and 90% requests' response time is still 50ms, because only 10% requests are
> located to the slow RS. However, each second we have 100 long-waiting
> requests which exactly occupies all 100 handles. So all handlers is blocked,
> the availability of this service is almost zero.
> To prevent this case, we can limit the max concurrent requests to one RS in
> process-level. Requests exceeding the limit will throws
> ServerBusyException(extends DoNotRetryIOE) immediately to users. In the above
> case, if we set this limit to 20, only 20 handlers will be occupied and other
> 80 handlers can still handle requests to other RS. The availability of this
> service is 90% as expected.
