Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-4937: -------------------------------------------- As part of RAR changes instead of actively skipping cache while file is still in use, it would only release it when SSTable is no longer needed (in SSTableReader.releaseReference() before data/index cleanup). > CRAR improvements (object cache + CompressionMetadata chunk offset storage > moved off-heap). > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4937 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4937 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.1.6 > Reporter: Pavel Yaskevich > Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1.7 > > Attachments: CASSANDRA-4937.patch > > > After good amount of testing on one of the clusters it was found that in > order to improve read latency we need to minimize allocation rate that > compression involves, that minimizes GC (as well as heap usage) and > substantially decreases latency on read heavy workloads. > I have also discovered that RAR skip cache harms performance in situation > when reads are done in parallel with compaction working with relatively big > SSTable files (few GB and more). The attached patch removes possibility to > skip cache from compressed files (I can also add changes to RAR to remove > skip cache functionality as a separate patch). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
