[jira] [Comment Edited] (HBASE-8119) Optimize StochasticLoadBalancer

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8119?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13605847#comment-13605847 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Quoting review at https://reviews.apache.org/r/9998/ 
Attaching a patch for improving the running time of StochasticLoadBalancer 200x times. 

TestStochasticLoadBalancer#testMidCluster() Current impl:
//2013-03-15 17:28:25,495 DEBUG [main] balancer.StochasticLoadBalancer(256): Finished computing new laod balance plan.  Computation took 172526ms to try 15000 different iterations.  Found a solution that moves 600 regions; Going from a computed cost of 35.85000000000001 to a new cost of 23.481578947368426
With patch:
//2013-03-18 14:56:13,541 DEBUG [Thread-2] balancer.StochasticLoadBalancer(436): Finished computing new laod balance plan.  Computation took 941ms to try 15000 different iterations.  Found a solution that moves 600 regions; Going from a computed cost of 35.85 to a new cost of 23.48157894736842

The improvements come from: 
 - Optimized array based data structures in Cluster class
 - Getting rid of hashmaps 
 - Optimized region move and swap ops 
 - Removing most of the computation to cluster initialization, and state change for the cluster, thus eliminating computing the same results over and over
 - Some profiling

There should be further optimizations but this should be a good start. If we ran into more problems, we can investigate further. There are a lof of TODO's added in this patch. I'll create a jira for collecting some thoughts, but I wont have the time to work on those for now. 

There are (hopefully) minor semantic changes in the algo. I had to bump up loadMultiplier, and decrease moveCostMultiplier. See comments at TestStochasticLoadBalancer#testLargeCluster(). Please review carefully. 

As noted in testLargeCluster(), this does not work for large clusters > 100000 regions, 1000 nodes. This can be solved by smt like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing instead of random walk with eager selection.

> On a 5 node trunk cluster, I ran into a weird problem with StochasticLoadBalancer:
> server1 	Thu Mar 14 03:42:50 UTC 2013 	0.0 	33
> server2 	Thu Mar 14 03:47:53 UTC 2013 	0.0 	34
> server3 	Thu Mar 14 03:46:53 UTC 2013 	465.0 	42
> server4 	Thu Mar 14 03:47:53 UTC 2013 	11455.0 	282
> server5 	Thu Mar 14 03:47:53 UTC 2013 	0.0 	34
> Total:5 		11920 	425
> Notice that server4 has 282 regions, while the others have much less. Plus for one table with 260 regions has been super imbalanced:
> {code}
> Regions by Region Server
> Region Server	Region Count
> http://server3:60030/ 	10
> http://server4:60030/ 	250
> {code}
