Also, I forgot this part before:

The ZooCache instance that's used *typically* comes from the Instance object that your Connector was created from. In other words, if you create multiple Instances (ZooKeeperInstance, usually), you can get multiple ZooCaches which means that concurrent calls to methods off of those objects should not block one another (createScanner off of connector1 from instance1 should not block createScanner off of connector2 from instance2).

That should be something quick you can play with if you so desire.

Yep, you'll likely also block on BatchScanner, anything in
TableOperations, and a host of other things.

For scanners, there's likely a standing recommendation to amortize the
use of those objects (if you want to look up 5 range, don't make 5
scanners).

Creating a cache per member in the work would likely require some kind
of paxos implementation to provide consistency which is highly undesirable.

One thing I'm curious about is the impact of removing ZooCache
altogether from things like the client api and see what happens. I don't
have a good way to measure that impact off the top of my head though.

Anyways, is this causing you problems in your usage of the api? Could
you elaborate a bit more on the specifics?

    I have run into a problem related to ACCUMULO-1833, which appears to
    have addressed the issue for MutliTableBatchWriter; however I am
    seeing this issue on the scanner side also:

    I have not spent enough time reasoning about the code to understand
    all of the nuances but I am interested in knowing if there are any
    mitigating strategies for dealing with this thread contention e.g.
    would creating a cache entry for each member of the Zookeeper
    ensemble help relieve the strain? use multiple classloaders? or is
    my only option to spawn multiple JVMs?

    Thanks,
