Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1062:
----------------------------------------

Eric and I were poking at this issue using the test program.  We found the following code in InMemoryMap is causing the performance  problem.

{code:java}
      synchronized (this) {
        // Can not update mutationCount while writes that started before
        // are in progress, this would cause partial mutations to be seen.
        // Also, can not continue until mutation count is updated, because
        // a read may not see a successful write. Therefore writes must
        // wait for writes that started before to finish.
        
        while (kvCount.get() != kv - 1) {
          try {
            wait();
          } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            // ignored
          }
        }
        kvCount.set(kv + numKVs - 1);
        notifyAll();
      }
{code}

> Using hundreds of ingest programs, each running several batch writers, ingest would eventually become slow.  Testing (attached) proved that performance fell off as the number of threads increased.
