Looking at HBASE-6284 it seems that deletes are not batched at the regionserver level so that is the
reason for the performance degradation. Additionally HBASE-5941 with the locks is also contributing
to the performance degradation.
So until those changes get into an hbase release I just have to live with the slower performance.
Is there anything I need to do on my end?
Just as a sanity check, I tried setting a timestamp in the delete object but it made no difference.
I'll batch my deletes at end as you suggested (as memory allows).
Thanks,

Can you point us to the JIRA or changelist in 0.89-fb ?
Thanks

There was some difference in the way locks are taken for batched deletes
and puts. This was fixed for 89.
I wonder if the same could be the issue here.

I'm struggling to understand why my deletes are taking longer than my
inserts. My understanding is that a delete is just an insertion of a
tombstone. And I'm deleting the entire row.
I do a simple loop (pseudo code) and insert the 100 byte rows:
for (int i=0; i < 50000; i++)
{
puts.append(new Put(rowkey[i], oneHundredBytes[i]));
if (puts.size() % 1000 == 0)
{
Benchmark.start();
table.batch(puts);
Benchmark.stop();
}
}
The above takes about 8282ms total.
However the delete takes more than twice as long:
Iterator it = table.getScannerScan(rowkey[0],
rowkey[50000-1]).iterator();
while(it.hasNext())
{
r = it.next();
deletes.append(new Delete(r.getRow()));
if (deletes.size() % 1000 == 0)
{
Benchmark.start();
table.batch(deletes);
Benchmark.stop();
}
}
The above takes 17369ms total.
I'm only benchmarking the deletion time and not the scan time.
Additionally if I batch the deletes into one big one at the end (rather
than while I'm scanning) it takes about the same amount of time. I am
deleting the entire row so I wouldn't think it would be doing a read before
the delete (

).
Any thoughts on why it is slower and how I can speed it up?
Thanks,
