[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-2362) Reduce blocking in client API (Tables)

Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-2362:
----------------------------------------

I think a first step on this issue would be to create some test code that
creates many client threads accessing Accumulo and see what problems arise.

> Presently, the {{Tables}} class contains a static map of instance to ZooCache that *many* of the classes in the client API use. The problem with this is that many of the methods on ZooCache ultimately are synchronized. When multiple threads using Connectors, TableOperations, Scanners/BatchScanners, and BatchWriters against the same Accumulo instance, you currently have a massive synchronization problem.
> We should give some thought to heavy, concurrent access to Accumulo client API calls within the same JVM. Consideration should also be given to the consistency of wrapping zookeeper with a cache like is presently done.
