[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-2125) tcpnodelay is false by default; it should be true?

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2125?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13279884#comment-13279884 ]

> Up on IRC, nagles algo came up.  Thought was that it should be off by default in our RPC only we'd need to check that nodelay didn't do damage:

> 22:16 < javarants1> appears to be enabled unless you set it in the config
> 22:16 < dj_ryan> good good
> 22:16 < javarants1> probably want to set hbase.ipc.client.tcpnodelay and ipc.server.tcpnodelay to true and test that

> 22:27 < St^Ack> So, lads, tcpnodelay should be TRUE on client and server by default rather than as they currently are, false?  If so, I should get this change into 0.20.3 (I can't repro kannan's hang still)
> 22:28 < Toad> nodelay true makes sense but you should make sure that you've got appropriate buffering then
> 22:28 < Toad> otherwise you'll get a bajillion packets per second and you'll suck throughputwise
> 22:29 < dj_ryan> we buffer entire rows and whatnot
> 22:29 < dj_ryan> so shouldnt be a problem i think
> 22:29 < Toad> yea, worth watching a wireshark though, make sure your packet trace looks the same
> 22:29 < St^Ack> thanks Toad ... then that means punt till 0.21 (smile)
> 22:29 < St^Ack> not in imminent 0.20.3
> 22:31 < Toad> yea, I wouldn't switch unless you have time to look it over
