Oh, ok. So that isn't quite as bad as it seems.
The "commits are held" exception is thrown when the tserver is running
low on memory. The tserver will block new mutations coming in until it
can process the ones it already has and free up some memory. This makes
sense that you would see this more often when you have more proxy
servers as the total amount of Mutations you can send to your Accumulo
instance is increased. With one proxy server, your tserver had enough
memory to process the incoming data. With many proxy servers, your
tservers would likely fall over eventually because they'll get bogged
down in JVM garbage collection.
If you have more memory that you can give the tservers, that would help.
Also, you should make sure that you're using the Accumulo native maps as
this will use off-JVM-heap space instead of JVM heap which should help
tremendously with your ingest rates.
Native maps should be on by default unless you turned them off using the
property 'tserver.memory.maps.native.enabled' in accumulo-site.xml.
Additionally, you can try increasing the size of the native maps using
'tserver.memory.maps.max' in accumulo-site.xml. Just be aware that with
the native maps, you need to ensure that total_ram > JVM_heap +
tserver.memory.maps.max

In the proxy I had the same error that I mention in one of my previous

tablet server and I found:

I would assume that that proxy service would become a bottleneck fairly
quickly and your throughput would benefit from running multiple proxies,
but I don't have substantive numbers to back up that assertion.
I'll put this on my list and see if I can reproduce something.

I have to run the tests again because they were ec2 instances and I've
destroyed. It's easy to reproduce BTW.
My question is, does it makes sense to run multiple proxies? Are there
a limit? Right now I'm trying with 10 nodes and 10 proxies (running on
every node). May be that doesn't make sense or it's a buggy
configuration.

When you had multiple proxies, what were the failures on that tablet

(10.202.6.46:9997).
I'm curious why using one proxy didn't cause errors but multiple did.

A lot of this messages appear in all the proxies.
I tried the same stress tests agaisnt one proxy and I was able to
increase the load without getting any error.

Do you see more information in the proxy logs? "# exceptions 1"
indicates
an unexpected exception occured in the batch writer client code. The
proxy
uses this client code, so maybe there will be a more detailed stack
trace
in
its logs.

Hi,
I'm testing with a ten node cluster with the proxy enabled in all

proxies using round robin. When I increase the load (400 workers
writting) I get this error:

I'm not sure if the errror is produced by the way I'm using the
cluster with multiple proxies, may be I should use one.
Ideas are welcome.
