Yeah, this seems to have been osx causing me grief.

Spun up a 3tserver cluster (on openstack, even) and reran the same experiment. I could not reproduce the issues, even without substantial config tweaking.

performance using Scanners too.

Coupled with Keith's inability to repro this, I am starting to think
that these are not worthwhile numbers to put weight behind. Something I
haven't been able to figure out is quite screwy for me.

Sven, et al:

So, it would appear that I have been able to reproduce this one (better
late than never, I guess...). tl;dr Serially using Scanners to do point
lookups instead of a BatchScanner is ~20x faster. This sounds like a
pretty serious performance issue to me.

Here's a general outline for what I did.

* Accumulo 1.8.0
* Created a table with 1M rows, each row with 10 columns using YCSB
(workloada)
* Split the table into 9 tablets
* Computed the set of all rows in the table

For a number of iterations:
* Shuffle this set of rows
* Choose the first N rows
* Construct an equivalent set of Ranges from the set of Rows, choosing a
random column (0-9)
* Partition the N rows into X collections
* Submit X tasks to query one partition of the N rows (to a thread pool
with X fixed threads)

I have two implementations of these tasks. One, where all ranges in a
partition are executed via one BatchWriter. A second where each range is
executed in serial using a Scanner. The numbers speak for themselves.

Hi Keith,

I've tried it with 1, 2 or 10 threads. Unfortunately there where no
amazing differences.
Maybe it's a problem with the table structure? For example it may
happen that one row id (e.g. a sentence) has several thousand column
families. Can this affect the seek performance?

So for my initial example it has about 3000 row ids to seek, which
will return about 500k entries. If I filter for specific column
families (e.g. a document without annotations) it will return about 5k
entries, but the seek time will only be halved.
Are there to much column families to seek it fast?

Thanks!

Regards,
Sven
