Tyler Hobbs updated CASSANDRA-6465:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: des-scores-with-penalty.csv
des-scores-without-penalty.csv
Attached are the DES scores from a run with and without the time penalty. This
was done with a three node CCM cluster. node1 coordinated all reads, and node2
and node3 were the replicas for all reads. In both runs, node2 served most of
the reads (as reported by cfstats).
> DES scores fluctuate too much for cache pinning

> To quote the conf:
> {noformat}
> # if set greater than zero and read_repair_chance is < 1.0, this will allow
> # 'pinning' of replicas to hosts in order to increase cache capacity.
> # The badness threshold will control how much worse the pinned host has to be
> # before the dynamic snitch will prefer other replicas over it. This is
> # expressed as a double which represents a percentage. Thus, a value of
> # 0.2 means Cassandra would continue to prefer the static snitch values
> # until the pinned host was 20% worse than the fastest.
> dynamic_snitch_badness_threshold: 0.1
> {noformat}
> An assumption of this feature is that scores will vary by less than
> dynamic_snitch_badness_threshold during normal operations. Attached is the
> result of polling a node for the scores of 6 different endpoints at 1 Hz for
> 15 minutes. The endpoints to sample were chosen with `nodetool getendpoints`
> for row that is known to get reads. The node was acting as a coordinator for
> a few hundred req/second, so it should have sufficient data to work with.
> Other traces on a second cluster have produced similar results.
> * The scores vary by far more than I would expect, as show by the difficulty
> of seeing anything useful in that graph.
> * The difference between the best and next-best score is usually > 10%
> (default dynamic_snitch_badness_threshold).
> Neither ClientRequest nor ColumFamily metrics showed wild changes during the
> data gathering period.
> Attachments:
> * jython script cobbled together to gather the data (based on work on the
> mailing list from Maki Watanabe a while back)
> * csv of DES scores for 6 endpoints, polled about once a second
> * Attempt at making a graph
