[jira] [Resolved] (HBASE-11323) BucketCache all the time!

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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11323?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

stack resolved HBASE-11323.
---------------------------

      Resolution: Fixed
    Release Note: Use the LruBlockCache default if your data fits the blockcache.  If block cache churn or you want a block cache that is immune to the vagaries of BC, deploy the offheap bucketcache.  See http://people.apache.org/~stack/bc/

> One way to realize the parent issue is to just enable bucket cache all the time; i.e. always have offheap enabled.  Would have to do some work to make it drop-dead simple on initial setup (I think it doable).
> So, upside would be the offheap upsides (less GC, less likely to go away and never come back because of full GC when heap is large, etc.).
> Downside is higher latency.   In Nick's BlockCache 101 there is little to no difference between onheap and offheap.  In a basic compare doing scans and gets -- details to follow -- I have BucketCache deploy about 20% less ops than LRUBC when all incache and maybe 10% less ops when falling out of cache.   I can't tell difference in means and 95th and 99th are roughly same (more stable with BucketCache).  GC profile is much better with BucketCache -- way less.  BucketCache uses about 7% more user CPU.
> More detail on comparison to follow.
> I think the numbers disagree enough we should probably do the [~lhofhansl] suggestion, that we allow you to have a table sit in LRUBC, something the current bucket cache layout does not do.
