Zhihong Ted Yu commented on HBASE-6254:
---------------------------------------
Since KeyValue implements HeapSize, we can keep adding column qualifiers until
we reach configurable threshold.
After get(get, false) returns, we can parse out the column qualifiers from
result.
> deletes w/ many column qualifiers overwhelm Region Server

> Key: HBASE-6254
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6254
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: performance, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.94.0
> Environment: 5 node Cent OS + 1 master, v0.94 on cdh3u3
> Reporter: Ted Tuttle
>
> Execution of Deletes constructed with thousands of calls to
> Delete.deleteColumn(family, qualifier) are very expensive and slow.
> On our (quiet) cluster, a Delete w/ 20k qualifiers took about 13s to complete
> (as measured by client).
> When 10 such Deletes were sent to the cluster via
> HTable.delete(List<Delete>), one of RegionServers ended up w/ 5 of the
> requests and became 100% CPU utilized for about 1 hour.
> This lead to the client timing out after 20min (2min x 10 retries). In one
> case, the client was able to fill the RPC callqueue and received the
> following error:
> {code}
> Failed all from region=<region>,hostname=<host>, port=<port>
> java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.io.IOException: Call queue is
> full, is ipc.server.max.callqueue.size too small?
> {code}
> Based on feedback (http://search-hadoop.com/m/yITsc1WcDWP), I switched to
> Delete.deleteColumn(family, qual, timestamp) where timestamp came from
> KeyValue retrieved from scan based on domain objects. This version of the
> delete ran in about 500ms.
> User group thread titled "RS unresponsive after series of deletes" has
> related logs and stacktraces.
