Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-3578:
-------------------------------------

bq. We don't guarantee that in PeriodicCommitLogExecutorService

No, you're right. I misspoke. For PeriodicCLE we only don't *commit* anything 
we cannot later replay.

Unfortunately the BatchCLE in your patch could still ACK messages that weren't 
replayable, as a message could reserve space, not finish writing it, and so not 
get placed on the waitIfNeeded() call/queue, but a later writer could race past 
it and get there. Since the earlier writer hasn't serialized its size, the 
later message is not replayable. Besides, the queue has *two* locks, so you'd 
still have a lock ;-)

> Brian Aker pointed out a while ago that allowing multiple threads to modify 
> the commitlog simultaneously (reserving space for each with a CAS first, the 
> way we do in the SlabAllocator.Region.allocate) can improve performance, 
> since you're not bottlenecking on a single thread to do all the copying and 
> CRC computation.
> Now that we use mmap'd CommitLog segments (CASSANDRA-3411) this becomes 
> doable.
> (moved from CASSANDRA-622, which was getting a bit muddled.)
