             Summary: CCSMap: A faster, GC-friendly, less memory Concurrent Map for memstore
                 Key: HBASE-20312
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20312
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: regionserver
            Reporter: Xiang Wang
         Attachments: ccsmap-branch-1.1.patch, jira1.png, jira2.png, jira3.png

Now hbase use ConcurrentSkipListMap as memstore's data structure.
Although MemSLAB reduces memory fragment brought by key-value pairs.
Hundred of millions key-value pairs still make young generation garbage-collection(gc) stop time long.

 

These are 2 gc problems of ConcurrentSkipListMap:

1. HBase needs 3 objects to store one key-value on expectation. One Index(skiplist's average node height is 1), one Node, and one KeyValue. Too many objects are created for memstore.

2. Recent inserted KeyValue and its map structure(Index, Node) are assigned on young generation.The card table (for CMS gc algorithm) or RSet(for G1 gc algorithm) will change frequently on high writing throughput, which makes YGC slow.

 

We devleoped a new skip-list map called CompactdConcurrentSkipListMap(CCSMap for short),
which provides similary features like ConcurrentSkipListMap but get rid of Objects for every key-value pairs.

CCSMap's memory structure is like this picture:

One CCSMap consists of a certain number of Chunks. One Chunk consists of a certain number of nodes. One node is corresspding one element. This element's all information and its key-value is encoded on a continuous memory segment without any objects.

Features:
1. all insert,update,delete operations is lock-free on CCSMap.
2. Consume less memory, it brings 40% memory saving for 50Byte key-value.
3. Faster on small key-value because of better cacheline usage. 20~30% better read/write troughput than ConcurrentSkipListMap for 50Byte key-value.

CCSMap do not support recyle space when deleting element. But it doesn't matter for hbase because of region flush.

CCSMap has been running on Alibaba's hbase clusters over 17 months, it cuts down YGC time significantly. here are 2 graph of before and after.
