Yu Li commented on HBASE-17471:
-------------------------------
bq. yes, I'm using HDD for the test, we only need a comparison, right?
Yep, no problem to test with HDD, I was just trying to understand the data
comparing to what in theory (smile).
(And my bad that the performance gain for SYNC_WAL should happen only in
branch-1 rather than 2.0 due to the write path change...)
And it seems still some efforts to take for branch-1 patch. IMO it's necessary
to check the perf data for branch-1 since the write path there is different
from 2.0 (append wal -> write memstore -> sync wal v.s. append wal -> sync wal
-> write memstore). Thanks.

> mvccPreAssign was brought by HBASE-16698, which truly improved the
> performance of writing, especially in ASYNC_WAL scenario. But mvccPreAssign
> was only used in {{doMiniBatchMutate}}, not in Increment/Append path. If
> Increment/Append and batch put are using against the same region in parallel,
> then seqid of the same region may not monotonically increasing in the WAL.
> Since one write path acquires mvcc/seqid before append, and the other
> acquires in the append/sync consume thread.
> The out of order situation can easily reproduced by a simple UT, which was
> attached in the attachment. I modified the code to assert on the disorder:
> {code}
> if(this.highestSequenceIds.containsKey(encodedRegionName)) {
> assert highestSequenceIds.get(encodedRegionName) < sequenceid;
> }
> {code}
> I'd like to say, If we allow disorder in WALs, then this is not a issue.
> But as far as I know, if {{highestSequenceIds}} is not properly set, some
> WALs may not archive to oldWALs correctly.
> which I haven't figure out yet is that, will disorder in WAL cause data loss
> when recovering from disaster? If so, then it is a big problem need to be
> fixed.
> I have fix this problem in our costom1.1.x branch, my solution is using
> mvccPreAssign everywhere, making it un-configurable. Since mvccPreAssign it
> is indeed a better way than assign seqid in the ringbuffer thread while
> keeping handlers waiting for it.
> If anyone think it is doable, then I will port it to branch-1 and master
> branch and upload it.
