[jira] [Created] (HBASE-9428) Regex filters are at least an order of magnitude slower since 0.94.3

Jean-Daniel Cryans created HBASE-9428:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Regex filters are at least an order of magnitude slower since 0.94.3
                 Key: HBASE-9428
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9428
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
             Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.94.12, 0.96.1


I found this issue after debugging a performance problem on an OpenTSDB cluster, it was basically unusable after an upgrade from 0.94.2 to 0.94.6. It was caused by HBASE-7279 (ping [~lhofhansl]).

The easiest way to see it is to run a simple 1 client PE:

{noformat}
$ ./bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PerformanceEvaluation sequentialWrite 1
{noformat}

Then in the shell do a filter scan (flush the table first and make sure if fits in your blockcache if you want stable numbers).

Pre HBASE-7279:
{noformat}
hbase(main):028:0> scan 'TestTable', {FILTER => "(RowFilter (=, 'regexstring:0000055872') )"}
ROW                                                 COLUMN+CELL                                                                                                                                         
 0000055872                                         column=info:data, timestamp=1378248850191, value=(blanked)                                                                                                                                    
1 row(s) in 1.2780 seconds
{noformat}

Post HBASE-7279

{noformat}
hbase(main):037:0* scan 'TestTable', {FILTER => "(RowFilter (=, 'regexstring:0000055872') )"}
ROW                                                 COLUMN+CELL                                                                                                                                         
 0000055872                                         column=info:data, timestamp=1378248850191, value=(blanked)                                                                                                                                      
1 row(s) in 24.2940 seconds
{noformat}

I tried a bunch of 0.94, up to 0.94.11, and the tip of 0.96. They are all slow like this.

It seems that since that jira went in we do a lot more row matching, and running the regex gets super expensive.
