Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-5898: -------------------------------------- Since it's possible that the thread blocked behind a reader that went to hdfs for the block, I think checking the cache is most likely to be a win. I have a demo app that hits one block multi-threaded. I'll try and get some concrete numbers up to back up my thoughts. > Consider double-checked locking for block cache lock > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5898 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5898 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Performance > Affects Versions: 0.94.1 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Critical > Attachments: 5898-TestBlocksRead.txt, HBASE-5898-0.patch, > hbase-5898.txt > > > Running a workload with a high query rate against a dataset that fits in > cache, I saw a lot of CPU being used in IdLock.getLockEntry, being called by > HFileReaderV2.readBlock. Even though it was all cache hits, it was wasting a > lot of CPU doing lock management here. I wrote a quick patch to switch to a > double-checked locking and it improved throughput substantially for this > workload. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
