Yu Li updated HBASE-17361:
--------------------------
    Affects Version/s:     (was: 1.2.4)
                           (was: 1.1.7)
             Priority: Major  (was: Critical)
          Description: 
Currently HTable is marked as NOT thread safe, and this JIRA target at 
improving this to take better usage of the thread-safe BufferedMutator.

Some findings/work done:

If we try to do put to the same HTable instance in parallel, there'll be 
problem, since now we have {{HTable#getBufferedMutator}} like
{code}
   BufferedMutator getBufferedMutator() throws IOException {
     if (mutator == null) {
      this.mutator = (BufferedMutatorImpl) connection.getBufferedMutator(
          new BufferedMutatorParams(tableName)
              .pool(pool)
              .writeBufferSize(connConfiguration.getWriteBufferSize())
              .maxKeyValueSize(connConfiguration.getMaxKeyValueSize())
      );
    }
    mutator.setRpcTimeout(writeRpcTimeout);
    mutator.setOperationTimeout(operationTimeout);
    return mutator;
  }
{code}
And {{HTable#flushCommits}}:
{code}
  void flushCommits() throws IOException {
    if (mutator == null) {
      // nothing to flush if there's no mutator; don't bother creating one.
      return;
    }
    getBufferedMutator().flush();
  }
{code}
For {{HTable#put}}
{code}
  public void put(final Put put) throws IOException {
    getBufferedMutator().mutate(put);
    flushCommits();
  }
{code}
If we launch multiple threads to put in parallel, below sequence might happen 
because {{HTable#getBufferedMutator}} is not thread safe:
{noformat}
1. ThreadA runs to getBufferedMutator and finds mutator==null
2. ThreadB runs to getBufferedMutator and finds mutator==null
3. ThreadA initialize mutator to instanceA, then calls mutator#mutate,
adding one put (putA) into {{writeAsyncBuffer}}
4. ThreadB initialize mutator to instanceB
5. ThreadA runs to flushCommits, now mutator is instanceB, it calls
instanceB's flush method, putA is lost
{noformat}

After fixing this, we will find quite some contention on 
{{BufferedMutatorImpl#flush}}, so more efforts required to make HTable thread 
safe but with good performance meanwhile.

  was:
Now we have {{HTable#getBufferedMutator}} like
{code}
   BufferedMutator getBufferedMutator() throws IOException {
     if (mutator == null) {
      this.mutator = (BufferedMutatorImpl) connection.getBufferedMutator(
          new BufferedMutatorParams(tableName)
              .pool(pool)
              .writeBufferSize(connConfiguration.getWriteBufferSize())
              .maxKeyValueSize(connConfiguration.getMaxKeyValueSize())
      );
    }
    mutator.setRpcTimeout(writeRpcTimeout);
    mutator.setOperationTimeout(operationTimeout);
    return mutator;
  }
{code}
And {{HTable#flushCommits}}:
{code}
  void flushCommits() throws IOException {
    if (mutator == null) {
      // nothing to flush if there's no mutator; don't bother creating one.
      return;
    }
    getBufferedMutator().flush();
  }
{code}
For {{HTable#put}}
{code}
  public void put(final Put put) throws IOException {
    getBufferedMutator().mutate(put);
    flushCommits();
  }
{code}
If we launch multiple threads to put in parallel, below sequence might happen 
because {{HTable#getBufferedMutator}} is not thread safe:
{noformat}
1. ThreadA runs to getBufferedMutator and finds mutator==null
2. ThreadB runs to getBufferedMutator and finds mutator==null
3. ThreadA initialize mutator to instanceA, then calls mutator#mutate,
adding one put (putA) into {{writeAsyncBuffer}}
4. ThreadB initialize mutator to instanceB
5. ThreadA runs to flushCommits, now mutator is instanceB, it calls
instanceB's flush method, putA is lost
{noformat}

Will add a UT to cover this case, and fix it in this JIRA.

           Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Bug)
              Summary: Make HTable thread safe  (was: HTable#getBufferedMutator 
is not thread safe and could cause data loss)
