Description

Tservers cannot be configured to limit how many write threads they will create. It would be very helpful if an upper limit could be specified given that there are limits in how quickly the Tserver can make WAL updates in HDFS, for example. Rather than collecting threads and subsequently blocking them, it would be helpful if clients received a failure because a Tserver has already reached its maximum.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Tserver write-thread creation and the WAL update path involving HDFS, then determine where a configurable upper limit belongs. Done means clients receive a failure when the configured limit is reached rather than waiting for another write thread.
