Bob Copeland commented on HBASE-4956: ------------------------------------- Yeah, buffer size doesn't really matter to our workload so out of laziness I stuck with 8k, but a larger one should be OK. Worth noting that 8k is better than the full length (i.e. unpatched) in my tests, presumably because of the additional allocation overhead. > Control direct memory buffer consumption by HBaseClient > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4956 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4956 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ted Yu > Fix For: 0.96.0, 0.94.1 > > Attachments: 4956.txt, thread_get.rb > > > As Jonathan explained here > https://groups.google.com/group/asynchbase/browse_thread/thread/c45bc7ba788b2357?pli=1 > , standard hbase client inadvertently consumes large amount of direct memory. > We should consider using netty for NIO-related tasks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
