      The puts are now streamed, i.e. sent asynchronously to the region servers if autoflush it set to false. If a region server is slow or does not respond, its puts are kept into the write buffer while the others are sent to these respective region server, until the write buffer is full. This feature is keeps the semantic of the interface already existing in 0.94 when using autoflush.

    Description

      today batch algo is:

      for Operation o: List<Op>{
        add o to todolist
        if todolist > maxsize or o last in list
          split todolist per location
          send split lists to region servers
          clear todolist
          wait
      }
      

      We could:

      • create immediately the final object instead of an intermediate array
      • split per location immediately
      • instead of sending when the list as a whole is full, send it when there is enough data for a single location

      It would be:

      for Operation o: List<Op>{
        get location
        add o to todo location.todolist
        if (location.todolist > maxLocationSize)
          send location.todolist to region server 
          clear location.todolist
          // don't wait, continue the loop
      }
      send remaining
      wait
      

      It's not trivial to write if you add error management: retried list must be shared with the operations added in the todolist. But it's doable.
      It's interesting mainly for 'big' writes
