ramkrishna.s.vasudevan updated HBASE-15787:
-------------------------------------------
    Attachment: HBASE-15787_1.patch

this patch adds test case and does have better mechanism to track offheap 
memstore affecting the heap memory manager.
If we have offheap memstore and we are sure that there are no flushes due to 
onheap pressure, the 'step' function that we apply to decrease the memstore 
size incase we need to increase the block_cache size (under read heavy cases) 
we do that with minstep function. this wil ensure that we don't reduce the heap 
limit of the offheap memstore which will lead to heap overhead flushes.

In cases where there are only flushes due to offheap pressure and it is write 
scenario we won't adjust the memstore size at all. All cases covered in test 
cases. 
Pls have a look at it.

> Change the flush related heuristics to work with offheap size configured

> With offheap MSLAB in place we may have to change the flush related 
> heuristics to work with offheap size configured rather than the java heap 
> size.
> Since we now have clear seperation of the memstore data size and memstore 
> heap size, for offheap memstore
> -> Decide if the global.offheap.memstore.size is breached for blocking 
> updates and force flushes. 
> -> If the onheap global.memstore.size is breached (due to heap overhead) even 
> then block updates and force flushes.
> -> The global.memstore.size.lower.limit is now by default 95% of the 
> global.memstore.size. So now we apply this 95% on the 
> global.offheap.memstore.size and also on global.memstore.size (as it was done 
> for onheap case).
> -> We will have new FlushTypes introduced
> {code}
>   ABOVE_ONHEAP_LOWER_MARK, /* happens due to lower mark breach of onheap 
> memstore settings
>                               An offheap memstore can even breach the 
> onheap_lower_mark*/
>   ABOVE_ONHEAP_HIGHER_MARK,/* happens due to higher mark breach of onheap 
> memstore settings
>                               An offheap memstore can even breach the 
> onheap_higher_mark*/
>   ABOVE_OFFHEAP_LOWER_MARK,/* happens due to lower mark breach of offheap 
> memstore settings*/
>   ABOVE_OFFHEAP_HIGHER_MARK;
> {code}
> -> regionServerAccounting does all the accounting.
> -> HeapMemoryTuner is what is litte tricky here. First thing to note is that 
> at no point it will try to increase or decrease the 
> global.offheap.memstore.size. If there is a heap pressure then it will try to 
> increase the memstore heap limit. 
> In case of offheap memstore there is always a chance that the heap pressure 
> does not increase. In that case we could ideally decrease the heap limit for 
> memstore. The current logic of heapmemory tuner is such that things will 
> naturally settle down. But on discussion what we thought is let us include 
> the flush count that happens due to offheap pressure but give that a lesser 
> weightage and thus ensure that the initial decrease on memstore heap limit 
> does not happen. Currently that fraction is set as 0.5.
