> [performance] Investigate Locking & Contention in the Write Path
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-1213
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1213
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Performance
> Affects Versions: 0.19.0
> Reporter: Ben Maurer
> Priority: Major
>
> When doing a large number of bulk updates from different clients, I noticed
> that there was a high level of lock contention for stuff like locking the
> HLog. It seems that each thread acquires the lock for a single BatchUpdate,
> releases the lock then another thread owns the lock before the initial writer
> gets to the next update. Having the threads bounce around may lead to
> suboptimal performance.
> Should be benchmarked & maybe changed to have less context switching.
