Adam Fuchs commented on ACCUMULO-1833:
--------------------------------------
bq. A simple way to avoid this extra work would be to make the cache in
MultiTableBatchWriter use table names instead of table ids (the lookup in the
cache could be done immediately and if a hash map was used would have constant
time cost). But that change in behavior could break any existing code that
relies on the current late binding of the table name to table id.
Since the late binding is eventually consistent anyway, can't we make a
time-sensitive cache (i.e. hold on to things for 5 seconds) that maintains the
same semantics and still fixes this performance issue?

> Key: ACCUMULO-1833
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1833
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.6.0
> Reporter: Chris McCubbin
> Attachments: ACCUMULO-1833-test.patch, ZooKeeperThreadUtilization.png
>
>
> This issue comes from profiling our application. We have a
> MultiTableBatchWriter created by normal means. I am attempting to write to it
> with multiple threads by doing things like the following:
> {code}
> batchWriter.getBatchWriter(table).addMutations(mutations);
> {code}
> In my test with 4 threads writing to one table, this call is quite
> inefficient and results in a large performance degradation over a single
> BatchWriter.
> I believe the culprit is the fact that the call is synchronized. Also there
> is the possibility that the zookeeper call to Tables.getTableState on every
> call is negatively affecting performance:
> {code}
> @Override
> public synchronized BatchWriter getBatchWriter(String tableName) throws
> AccumuloException, AccumuloSecurityException, TableNotFoundException {
> ArgumentChecker.notNull(tableName);
> String tableId = Tables.getNameToIdMap(instance).get(tableName);
> if (tableId == null)
> throw new TableNotFoundException(tableId, tableName, null);
>
> if (Tables.getTableState(instance, tableId) == TableState.OFFLINE)
> throw new TableOfflineException(instance, tableId);
>
> BatchWriter tbw = tableWriters.get(tableId);
> if (tbw == null) {
> tbw = new TableBatchWriter(tableId);
> tableWriters.put(tableId, tbw);
> }
> return tbw;
> }
> {code}
> I recommend moving the synchronized block to happen only if the batchwriter
> is not present, and also only checking if the table is online at that time:
> {code}
> @Override
> public BatchWriter getBatchWriter(String tableName) throws
> AccumuloException, AccumuloSecurityException, TableNotFoundException {
> ArgumentChecker.notNull(tableName);
> String tableId = Tables.getNameToIdMap(instance).get(tableName);
> if (tableId == null)
> throw new TableNotFoundException(tableId, tableName, null);
> BatchWriter tbw = tableWriters.get(tableId);
> if (tbw == null) {
> if (Tables.getTableState(instance, tableId) == TableState.OFFLINE)
> throw new TableOfflineException(instance, tableId);
> tbw = new TableBatchWriter(tableId);
> synchronized(tableWriters){
> //only create a new table writer if we haven't been beaten to it.
> if (tableWriters.get(tableId) == null)
> tableWriters.put(tableId, tbw);
> }
> }
> return tbw;
> }
> {code}
