             Summary: Refine RegionGroupingProvider: fix issues and make it more scalable
                 Key: HBASE-14306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14306
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wal
            Reporter: Yu Li
            Assignee: Yu Li


There're multiple issues in RegionGroupingProvider, including:
# The provider cache in it is using byte array as the key of ConcurrentHashMap, which is not right (the reason is [here|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1058149/using-a-byte-array-as-hashmap-key-java])

# It's using IdentityGroupingStrategy to get group and use it as key of the cache, which means the cache will include an entry for each region. This is especially unnecessary when using BoundedRegionGroupingProvider

I would suggest to change BoundedRegionGroupingProvider from a *provider* to a pluggable *strategy*, which will make the whole picture much more clear.

For more details, please refer to the patch
