Thread-pool Settings for Performance

The HPE Data Fabric Database C APIs internally have one thread pool per client. Threads work on the async tasks enqueued by a client application. There are two thread-pool parameters that you can modify in the /opt/mapr/conf/dbclient.conf file for better application performance.

fs.mapr.pool.threads

This parameter controls the number of connections that a client application makes with HPE Data Fabric Database for append, increment, read, and scan requests. For a higher rate of throughput to HPE Data Fabric Database, you can increase this value. The default value is 10.

fs.mapr.highpri.pool.threads

This parameter controls the number of threads that invoke application-provided callbacks. If an application's callbacks are not lightweight but instead perform complex calculations that require significant processing, increase this value to avoid delays in invoking callbacks. The default value is 2.
