[jira] Commented: (HBASE-3) rest server: configure number of threads for jetty

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12565479#action_12565479 ] 

Bryan Duxbury commented on HBASE-3:
-----------------------------------

You're using a single REST server to serve 400 clients? That's really not ideal. You may be able to increase random read performance a little with caching, but I think you'd be taking a pretty noticeable hit by aggregating your entire cluster's traffic through a single machine. Can you try the job with a larger number of REST servers? Like one per worker  host? That's how we do it at Rapleaf.

> I am running a mapreduce job (~400 simultaneous map tasks) that makes random reads from hbase.  I have put a varnishd reverse proxy cache in front of a single rest server.  The single rest server's jetty appears to be running out of threads:
> 2008-02-01 23:17:16,971 INFO org.mortbay.http.SocketListener: LOW ON THREADS ((256-256+1)<2) on SocketListener0@0.0.0.0:61234
> 2008-02-01 23:17:17,116 WARN org.mortbay.http.SocketListener: OUT OF THREADS: SocketListener0@0.0.0.0:61234
> 2008-02-01 23:17:19,255 INFO org.mortbay.http.SocketListener: LOW ON THREADS ((256-256+1)<2) on SocketListener0@0.0.0.0:61234
> The default for jetty is to use a thread pool of 256 threads.  But I'd like to be able to specify (preferably in hadoop-site.xml) how large the thread pool should be -- in this case it needs to have as many threads as I have simultaneous map tasks.
