Thank you for the idea about onRemove, I will check this logic.
> We can use more than one mechanism just fine, however.
Yes, this is what I have in my mind: I can add the periodic recycling logic
invocation into the processing loop which consumes from ReferenceQueue and get
benefits of both approaches (an earlier recycling by periodic iteration if
system is not under pressure and a faster reaction under high pressure by
PhantomReference)

> Cassandra has a lot of metrics collected, many of them are collected per
> table, so their instance number is multiplied by number of tables. From one
> side it gives a better observability, from another side metrics are not for
> free, there is an overhead associated with them:
> 1) CPU overhead: in case of simple CPU bound load: I already see like 5.5% of
> total CPU spent for metrics in cpu framegraphs for read load and 11% for
> write load.
> Example: [^cpu_profile_insert.html] (search by "codahale" pattern). The
> framegraph is captured using Async profiler build:
> async-profiler-3.0-29ee888-linux-x64
> 2) memory overhead: we spend memory for entities used to aggregate metrics
> such as LongAdders and reservoirs + for MBeans (String concatenation within
> object names is a major cause of it, for each table+metric name combination a
> new String is created)
> LongAdder is used by Dropwizard Counter/Meter and Histogram metrics for
> counting purposes. It has severe memory overhead + while has a better scaling
> than AtomicLong we still have to pay some cost for the concurrent operations.
> Additionally, in case of Meter - we have a non-optimal behaviour when we
> count the same things several times.
> The idea (suggested by [~benedict]) is to switch to thread-local counters
> which we can store in a common thread-local array to reduce memory overhead.
> In this way we can avoid concurrent update overheads/contentions and to
> reduce memory footprint as well.
