Jeremiah Jordan updated CASSANDRA-8771: --------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 2.2.0 beta 1) 2.1.x > Remove commit log segment recycling > ----------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8771 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8771 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Ariel Weisberg > Assignee: Ariel Weisberg > Labels: commitlog > Fix For: 2.1.x > > > For discussion > Commit log segment recycling introduces a lot of complexity in the existing > code. > CASSANDRA-8729 is a side effect of commit log segment recycling and > addressing it will require memory management code and thread coordination for > memory that the filesystem will no longer handle for us. > There is some discussion about what storage configurations actually benefit > from preallocated files. Fast random access devices like SSDs, or > non-volatile write caches etc. make the distinction not that great. > I haven't measured any difference in throughput for bulk appending vs > overwriting although it was pointed out that I didn't test with concurrent IO > streams. > What would it take to make removing commit log segment recycling acceptable? > Maybe a benchmark on a spinning disk that measures the performance impact of > preallocation when there are other IO streams? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
