nkeywal commented on HBASE-6058: -------------------------------- I've tested ZK#multi on assignment in master: no real improvement actually because we’re actually spending our time in the region server. We lower the load on ZK, but it would be visible only on a large cluster. As using multi would require to use ZK 3.4, it’s not compelling enough to do the move. Note that's because: - the master part I've changed is doing asynchronous writes, faster than synchronous writes - ZooKeeper does nothing else. On a large cluster, it would be more interesting. - there is no real bulk assign in the region server (i.e. a regionserver receives 20 regions simultaneously). So we don't need multi there today. > Use ZK 3.4 API 'multi' in bulk assignment > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6058 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6058 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: master, Zookeeper > Affects Versions: 0.96.0 > Reporter: nkeywal > Assignee: nkeywal > Priority: Minor > > We use async API today. This is already much much faster than the sync API. > Still, it makes sense to use the 'multi' function: this will decrease the > network & zookeeper load at startup/rolling restart. > On a 500 nodes cluster, we see 3 that 3 seconds are spent on updating ZK per > bulk assignment. This should cut it in half (+ the benefits on the network/zk > load). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
