Reads happen on most recent data

More than 75% of your read requests are landing on the memstore, indicating that the reads are primarily on recent data. Recent data reads suggest that even if a flush happens on the memstore, the recent file needs to be accessed and put in the cache.

Learn more about HDInsight cluster - HBaseMemstoreReadPercentage (Reads happen on most recent data).

Consider using Accelerated Writes feature in your HBase cluster to improve cluster performance.

You're seeing this advisor recommendation because HDInsight team's system log shows that in the past seven days, your cluster has encountered the following scenarios:

  1. High WAL sync time latency

  2. High write request count (at least 3 one hour windows of over 1000 avg_write_requests/second/node)

These conditions are indicators that your cluster is suffering from high write latencies, which can be due to heavy workload on your cluster.

To improve the performance of your cluster, consider utilizing the Accelerated Writes feature provided by Azure HDInsight HBase. The Accelerated Writes feature for HDInsight Apache HBase clusters attaches premium SSD-managed disks to every RegionServer (worker node) instead of using cloud storage. As a result, it provides low write-latency and better resiliency for your applications.

Virtual desktop infrastructure

Improve user experience and connectivity by deploying VMs closer to user’s location

We have determined that your VMs are located in a region different or far from where your users are connecting with Azure Virtual Desktop, which might lead to prolonged connection response times and affect overall user experience. When you create VMs for your host pools, try to use a region closer to the user. Having close proximity ensures continuing satisfaction with the Azure Virtual Desktop service and a better overall quality of experience.

Change the max session limit for your depth first load balanced host pool to improve VM performance

Depth first load balancing uses the max session limit to determine the maximum number of users that can have concurrent sessions on a single session host. If the max session limit is too high, all user sessions are directed to the same session host and this might cause performance and reliability issues. Therefore, when setting a host pool to have depth first load balancing, also set an appropriate max session limit according to the configuration of your deployment and capacity of your VMs. To fix this, open your host pool's properties and change the value next to the "Max session limit" setting.
