Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-6603:
--------------------------------------
Also note that for scans with few columns the collection of this metric still
shows up and consumes a significant portion of the time.
Are these metric that useful (total get size, total next size)? Can we remove
them (or at least optionally not collect them)?
> RegionMetricsStorage.incrNumericMetric is called too often

> Running an HBase scan load through the profiler revealed that
> RegionMetricsStorage.incrNumericMetric is called way too often.
> It turns out that we make this call for *each* KV in StoreScanner.next(...).
> Incrementing AtomicLong requires expensive memory barriers.
> The observation here is that StoreScanner.next(...) can maintain a simple
> long in its internal loop and only update the metric upon exit. Thus the
> AtomicLong is not updated nearly as often.
> That cuts about 10% runtime from scan only load (I'll quantify this better
> soon).
