Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-2362:
----------------------------------------
I think a first step on this issue would be to create some test code that
creates many client threads accessing Accumulo and see what problems arise.
> Reduce blocking in client API (Tables)

> Key: ACCUMULO-2362
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2362
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: 1.4.4, 1.5.0
> Reporter: Josh Elser
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
>
> Presently, the {{Tables}} class contains a static map of instance to ZooCache
> that *many* of the classes in the client API use. The problem with this is
> that many of the methods on ZooCache ultimately are synchronized. When
> multiple threads using Connectors, TableOperations, Scanners/BatchScanners,
> and BatchWriters against the same Accumulo instance, you currently have a
> massive synchronization problem.
> We should give some thought to heavy, concurrent access to Accumulo client
> API calls within the same JVM. Consideration should also be given to the
> consistency of wrapping zookeeper with a cache like is presently done.
