Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2988: ------------------------------------------- Melvin, can you review that patch? (Verified that it still applies to 1.0 branch.) > Improve SSTableReader.load() when loading index files > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2988 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2988 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Melvin Wang > Assignee: Melvin Wang > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.0.6 > > Attachments: 2988-2-cleaned.txt, 2988-2-v2.txt, 2988-parallel-v2.txt, > c2988-2-v2, c2988-modified-buffer.patch, c2988-parallel-load-sstables.patch > > > * when we create BufferredRandomAccessFile, we pass skipCache=true. This > hurts the read performance because we always process the index files > sequentially. Simple fix would be set it to false. > * multiple index files of a single column family can be loaded in parallel. > This buys a lot when you have multiple super large index files. > * we may also change how we buffer. By using BufferredRandomAccessFile, for > every read, we need bunch of checking like > - do we need to rebuffer? > - isEOF()? > - assertions > These can be simplified to some extent. We can blindly buffer the index > file by chunks and process the buffer until a key lies across boundary of a > chunk. Then we rebuffer and start from the beginning of the partially read > key. Conceptually, this is same as what BRAF does but w/o the overhead in the > read**() methods in BRAF. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
