Zhihong Ted Yu commented on HBASE-6339: --------------------------------------- In many production systems, region splitting is effectively disabled. Looks like there is some in gem in your initial proposal if we can reliably detect that there is no region splitting. > Bulkload call to RS should begin holding write lock only after the file has > been transferred > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6339 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6339 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: client, regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.90.0 > Reporter: Harsh J > Assignee: Harsh J > > I noticed that right now, under a bulkLoadHFiles call to an RS, we grab the > HRegion write lock as soon as we determine that it is a multi-family bulk > load we'll be attempting. The file copy from the caller's source FS is done > after holding the lock. > This doesn't seem right. For instance, we had a recent use-case where the > bulk load running cluster is a separate HDFS instance/cluster than the one > that runs HBase and the transfers between these FSes can get slower than an > intra-cluster transfer. Hence I think we should begin to hold the write lock > only after we've got a successful destinationFS copy of the requested file, > and thereby allow more write throughput to pass. > Does this sound reasonable to do? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
