We have been using hedged reads with hbase for some time now… and I’m looking at the metrics.. On all of our hbase region servers, the hedgedReadWins is greater than hedgedReads.
According to the docs, the hbaseReadWins it is “the number of times the hedged read thread was faster than the original thread” whereas hedgedReads is “the number of times hedged read threads have been triggered.” I’m wondering how the Wins count is always greater than the # of Reads? Gary V.
