Ferdy commented on GORA-56:
---------------------------

I ran some benchmarks for the patch in single thread mode and I could not 
notice a performance impact compared to the current implementation. This is to 
be expected:

-The ThreadLocal HTable code should not incur a performance penalty. It is a 
recommended way to avoid synchronization altogether.
-The fields in HBaseStore are made volatile, however since there are just 
written once and read only afterwards the penalty for this is truly minimal.

Removing the volatile keywords will not make a difference in practice, but 
technically they are required since the initialization thread must publish its 
objects safely to other threads somehow. (However I probably could have gotten 
away with using just one volatile variable as a memory-barrier.) Anyway I 
noticed that some of the other store implementations (including superclass 
DataStoreBase) do not do any of this, so I guess this is something to keep in 
mind.
