> Debug logging can involve in many cases (especially very low latency ones) a 
> very important overhead on the read path in 2.2 as we've seen when upgrading 
> clusters from 2.0 to 2.2.
> The performance impact was especially noticeable on the client side metrics, 
> where p99 could go up to 10 times higher, while ClientRequest metrics 
> recorded by Cassandra didn't show any overhead.
> Below shows latencies recorded on the client side with debug logging on 
> first, and then without it :
> !debuglogging.png!  
> We generated a flame graph before turning off debug logging that shows the 
> read call stack is dominated by debug logging : 
> !flame_graph_snapshot.png!
> I've attached the original flame graph for exploration.
> Once disabled, the new flame graph shows that the read call stack gets 
> extremely thin, which is further confirmed by client recorded metrics : 
> !flame22 nodebug sjk svg.png!
> The query pager code has been reworked since 3.0 and it looks like 
> log.debug() calls are gone there, but for 2.2 users and to prevent such 
> issues to appear with default settings, I really think debug logging should 
> be disabled by default.
