[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2023) Client sync block can cause 1 thread
of a multi-threaded client to block all others
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2023?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12806620#action_12806620 ]
Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-2023:
-------------------------------------------
Maybe a low hanging fruit would be to narrow the synchronize on the table level:
{code}
synchronized(getTableLocations(tableName)){
return locateRegionInMeta(META_TABLE_NAME, tableName, row, useCache);
}
{code}
This way you can even disable a table without stopping all request from coming in.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2023
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2
> Reporter: ryan rawson
>
> Take a highly multithreaded client, processing a few thousand requests a second. If a table goes offline, one thread will get stuck in "locateRegionInMeta" which is located inside the following sync block:
> synchronized(userRegionLock){
> return locateRegionInMeta(META_TABLE_NAME, tableName, row, useCache);
> }
> So when other threads need to find a region (EVEN IF ITS CACHED!!!) it will encounter this sync and wait.
> This can become an issue on a busy thrift server (where I first noticed the problem), one region offline can prevent access to all other regions!
> Potential solution: narrow this lock, or perhaps just get rid of it completely.
