    • Changed the write pipeline order; made it more rational, easier-to-reason-about doing all updates to WA, MemStore, and mvcc while read/write rowlock is held where before we'd release after WAL append and then do sync and mvcc.

    Description

      Change how we do our write pipeline. I want to do all write pipeline ops under row lock so I lean on this fact fixing performance regression in check-and-set type operations like increment, append, and checkAnd* (see sibling issue HBASE-15082).

      To be specific, we write like this now:

      # take rowlock
      # start mvcc
      # append to WAL
      # add to memstore
      # let go of rowlock
      # sync WAL
      # in case of error: rollback memstore
      

      Instead, write like this:

      # take rowlock
      # start mvcc
      # append to WAL
      # sync WAL
      # add to memstore
      # let go of rowlock
      
      ... no need to do rollback.
      

      The old ordering was put in place because it got better performance in a time when WAL was different and before row locks were read/write (HBASE-12751).

      Testing in branch-1 shows that a reordering and skipping mvcc waits gets us back to the performance we had before we unified mvcc and sequenceid (HBASE-8763). Tests in HBASE-15046 show that at the macro level using our usual perf tools, reordering pipeline seems to cause no slowdown (see HBASE-15046). A rough compare of increments with reordered write pipeline seems to have us getting back a bunch of our performance (see tail of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15082?focusedCommentId=15111703&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15111703 and subsequent comment).
