Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-9673:
-------------------------------------

Can they ever timeout out when building? 

{{MaterializedViewBuilder.buildKey}} catches a WTE thrown by {{SP.mutateMV()}} 
and has a warning that says _Encountered write timeout when building 
materialized view, the entries were stored in the batchlog and will be replayed 
at another time_. That doesn't look true unless there is another batchlog 
stored elsewhere that I missed.

Also, when building it doesn't look like we are in a mutation stage but in the 
compaction executor.

Anyway, I think I understand a bit better now, thanks for your answers.

> Currently we allocate an on-heap {{ByteBuffer}} to serialize the batched 
> mutations into, before sending it to a distant node, generating unnecessary 
> garbage (potentially a lot of it).
> With materialized views using the batchlog, it would be nice to optimise the 
> write path:
> - introduce a new verb ({{Batch}})
> - introduce a new message ({{BatchMessage}}) that would encapsulate the 
> mutations, expiration, and creation time (similar to {{HintMessage}} in 
> CASSANDRA-6230)
> - have MS serialize it directly instead of relying on an intermediate buffer
> To avoid merely shifting the temp buffer to the receiving side(s) we should 
> change the structure of the batchlog table to use a list or a map of 
> individual mutations.
