> Yesterday debugging w/ Jack we noticed that with few handlers on a big box, he was seeing stats like this:
> {code}
> 2011-04-21 11:54:49,451 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.ipc.HBaseServer: Server connection from X.X.X.X:60931; # active connections: 11; # queued calls: 2500
> {code}
> We had 2500 items in the rpc queue waiting to be processed.
> Turns out he had too few handlers for number of clients (but also, it seems like he figured hw issues in that his RAM bus was running at 1/4 the rate that it should have been running at).
> Chatting w/ J-D this morning, he asked if the queues hold 'data'.  The queues hold 'Calls'.  Calls are the client request.  They contain data.
> Jack had 2500 items queued.  If each item to insert was 1MB, thats 25k * 1MB of memory that is outside of our generally accounting.
> Currently the queue size is handlers * MAX_QUEUE_SIZE_PER_HANDLER where MAX_QUEUE_SIZE_PER_HANDLER is hardcoded to be 100.
> If the queue is full we block (LinkedBlockingQueue).
> Going to change the queue size from 100 to 10 by default -- but also will make it configurable and will doc. this as possible cause of OOME.  Will try it on production here before committing patch.
