Hello,</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">As a followup for anyone experiencing
similar issues - switching to an NFS mount from a Gluster Native
resolved the issue. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="">The giveaway was the large
number of context switches happening in the kernel during some
heavy operations (vmstat or dstat) - neither the I/O, network
interface, or CPU was the bottleneck - but the context switching
was causing significant impact on the performance of our Java
application. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style=""><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="">The application has a large
volume of writes on many small files, which is not ideal for the
FUSE client. Switching to NFS brought the times down an order
of magnitude.</div>
