Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7282:
-------------------------------------
I actually wonder if we should make this ticket depend on a new ticket to
separate all memtables by token range. By doing this at a slightly higher
level, we can flush data for each token range on an independent schedule. This
might permit more even use our disks, and reduce overall compaction work by
permitting us to flush larger sstables on average.
It's also an easier level to integrate decisions about token range changes, and
avoids the unsightly slicing (on flush) of already sliced data.

> Currently we maintain a ConcurrentSkipLastMap of DecoratedKey -> Partition in
> our memtables. Maintaining this is an O(lg(n)) operation; since the vast
> majority of users use a hash partitioner, it occurs to me we could maintain a
> hybrid ordered list / hash map. The list would impose the normal order on the
> collection, but a hash index would live alongside as part of the same data
> structure, simply mapping into the list and permitting O(1) lookups and
> inserts.
> I've chosen to implement this initial version as a linked-list node per item,
> but we can optimise this in future by storing fatter nodes that permit a
> cache-line's worth of hashes to be checked at once, further reducing the
> constant factor costs for lookups.
