[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-9428) Regex filters are at least an order of magnitude slower since 0.94.3

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9428?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13757406#comment-13757406 ] 

Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-9428:
--------------------------------------

Hmm... Interesting. Can't just undo HBASE-7279, it saves a *lot* of garbage during scanning.
Maybe the Regex filters can do the caching of the data they "regex'ing" over.

> I found this issue after debugging a performance problem on an OpenTSDB cluster, it was basically unusable after an upgrade from 0.94.2 to 0.94.6. It was caused by HBASE-7279 (ping [~lhofhansl]).
> The easiest way to see it is to run a simple 1 client PE:
> {noformat}
> $ ./bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PerformanceEvaluation sequentialWrite 1
> {noformat}
> Then in the shell do a filter scan (flush the table first and make sure if fits in your blockcache if you want stable numbers).

> I tried a bunch of 0.94, up to 0.94.11, and the tip of 0.96. They are all slow like this.
> It seems that since that jira went in we do a lot more row matching, and running the regex gets super expensive.
