Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-10249: ----------------------------------------------- I'm don't know where you got the 4K number for 2.2. So a patch for 2.2 is actually required. Anyway, pushed a 2.1 and a 2.2 branch (with some minor changes to the former to make it idiomatic), now awaiting CI results. ||branch||testall||dtest|| |[10249-2.1|https://github.com/iamaleksey/cassandra/tree/10249-2.1]|[testall|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/iamaleksey/job/iamaleksey-10249-2.1-testall]|[dtest|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/iamaleksey/job/iamaleksey-10249-2.1-dtest]| |[10249-2.2|https://github.com/iamaleksey/cassandra/tree/10249-2.2]|[testall|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/iamaleksey/job/iamaleksey-10249-2.2-testall]|[dtest|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/iamaleksey/job/iamaleksey-10249-2.2-dtest]| > Make buffered read size configurable > ------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-10249 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10249 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Albert P Tobey > Assignee: Albert P Tobey > Fix For: 2.1.x > > Attachments: Screenshot 2015-09-11 09.32.04.png, Screenshot > 2015-09-11 09.34.10.png, patched-2.1.9-dstat-lvn10.png, > stock-2.1.9-dstat-lvn10.png, yourkit-screenshot.png > > > On read workloads, Cassandra 2.1 reads drastically more data than it emits > over the network. This causes problems throughput the system by wasting disk > IO and causing unnecessary GC. > I have reproduce the issue on clusters and locally with a single instance. > The only requirement to reproduce the issue is enough data to blow through > the page cache. The default schema and data size with cassandra-stress is > sufficient for exposing the issue. > With stock 2.1.9 I regularly observed anywhere from 300:1 to 500 > disk:network ratio. That is to say, for 1MB/s of network IO, Cassandra was > doing 300-500MB/s of disk reads, saturating the drive. > After applying this patch for standard IO mode > https://gist.github.com/tobert/10c307cf3709a585a7cf the ratio fell to around > 100:1 on my local test rig. Latency improved considerably and GC became a lot > less frequent. > I tested with 512 byte reads as well, but got the same performance, which > makes sense since all HDD and SSD made in the last few years have a 4K block > size (many of them lie and say 512). > I'm re-running the numbers now and will post them tomorrow. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
