Ariel Weisberg updated CASSANDRA-8789:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: 8789.diff
Instead of changing the socket in used based on message type use the message
size. The payload size is already being calculated as part of serialization so
when calculating the size to use for picking a socket memoize the value.
> Revisit how OutboundTcpConnection pools two connections for different message
> types

> I was looking at this trying to understand what messages flow over which
> connection.
> For reads the request goes out over the command connection and the response
> comes back over the ack connection.
> For writes the request goes out over the command connection and the response
> comes back over the command connection.
> Reads get a dedicated socket for responses. Mutation commands and responses
> both travel over the same socket along with read requests.
> Sockets are used uni-directional so there are actually four sockets in play
> and four threads at each node (2 inbounded, 2 outbound).
> CASSANDRA-488 doesn't leave a record of what the impact of this change was.
> If someone remembers what situations were made better it would be good to
> know.
> I am not clear on when/how this is helpful. The consumer side shouldn't be
> blocking so the only head of line blocking issue is the time it takes to
> transfer data over the wire.
> If message size is the cause of blocking issues then the current design mixes
> small messages and large messages on the same connection retaining the head
> of line blocking.
> Read requests share the same connection as write requests (which are large),
> and write acknowledgments (which are small) share the same connections as
> write requests. The only winner is read acknowledgements.
