----------------------------------------------
Ted: You are right. It is pretty much the same. Liyin is planning to take a
look at this issue.
> multiple commit logs per region server

> Key: HBASE-6981

> Project: HBase

> For write dominated workloads, the fact that we have only 1 commit log per
> server artificially limits the aggregate throughput to that of one disk
> (this is especially true if we do true FS level syncs on each datanode, or
> even frequent intermittent FS level syncs as data is being written to each
> block).
> We could consider allowing a configurable number of commit logs per server
> (perhaps something close to or slightly less than the number of disks per
> server), and we could shard regions on the server, by maybe just a simple
> modulo scheme, into those commit logs.
> [A quick way to experiment with the same might be to run multiple region
> server instances per server; but might be better operationally to package the
> feature into a single region server.]
