> Reduce filesystem calls while streaming SSTables
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRASC-94
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRASC-94
> Project: Sidecar for Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Francisco Guerrero
> Assignee: Francisco Guerrero
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> When streaming snapshotted SSTables from Cassandra Sidecar, Sidecar will
> perform multiple filesystem calls:
> - Traverse the data directories to determine the keyspace / table path
> - Once found determine if the SSTable file exists under the snapshots
> directory
> - Read the filesystem to obtain the file type and file size
> - Read the requested range of the file and stream it
> The amount of filesystem calls is manageable for streaming a single SSTable,
> but when a client(s) read multiple SSTables, for example in the case of
> Cassandra Analytics bulk reads, hundred to thousand of requests are performed
> requiring every request to perform the above system calls.
> In this improvement, it is proposed introducing several caches to reduce the
> amount of system calls while streaming SSTables.
> - *snapshot list cache*: to maintain a cache of recently listed snapshot
> files under a snapshot directory. This cache avoids having to access the
> filesystem every time a bulk read client list the snapshot directory.
> - *table dir cache*: to maintain a cache of recently streamed table directory
> paths. This cache helps avoiding having to traverse the filesystem searching
> for the table directory while running bulk reads for example. Since bulk
> reads can stream tens to hundreds of SSTable components from a snapshot
> directory, this cache helps avoid having to resolve the table directory each
> time.
> - *snapshot path cache*: to maintain a cache of recently streamed snapshot
> SSTable components. This cache avoids having to resolve the snapshot SSTable
> component path during bulk reads. Since bulk reads streams sub-ranges of an
> SSTable component, the resolution can happen multiple times during bulk reads
> for a single SSTable component.
> - *file props cache*: to maintain a cache of FileProps of recently streamed
> files. This cache avoids having to validate file properties during bulk reads
> for example where sub-ranges of an SSTable component are streamed, therefore
> reading the file properties can occur multiple times during bulk reads of the
> same file.
