[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-10810) LoadTestTool should share the connection and connection pool

["Nick Dimiduk (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10810?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13943764#comment-13943764 ] 

Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-10810:
--------------------------------------

[~nkeywal] and I came to the same conclusion simultaneously. I think the test should be using a single pool for all tables it creates, instead of using this HTable constructor with it's managed pool. In general, I think the HTable constructor is dangerous for anything but a one-off and should be removed (see HBASE-9117).

> While running the IT test from HBASE-10572, we've noticed that the number of threads jumps to 4K's when CM actions are going on. 
> Our [~ndimiduk] summarizes the problem quite good: 
> MultiThreadedReader creates this pool for each HTable:
> {code}
>     ThreadPoolExecutor pool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(1, maxThreads, keepAliveTime, TimeUnit.SECONDS,
>         new SynchronousQueue<Runnable>(), Threads.newDaemonThreadFactory("htable"));
> {code}
> This comes from the HTable creation
> {code}  
> public HTable(Configuration conf, final TableName tableName)
> {code}
> As well the javadoc says Recommended.
> This is wrong.
> In this issue we can change the LTT sub classes to use the shared connection object and initialize their tables using HConnection.getTable() rather than new HTable(). 
> This is relevant to trunk as well, but there since there is only one outstanding RPC per thread, it is not such a big problem.
