Robert Stupp updated CASSANDRA-7386:
------------------------------------
Attachment: 7386-v1.patch
Here's an initial draft version that collects metrics on data directories and
chooses the directory to write to on a value calculated from _current task
load_ and _free disk ratio_. It's not finished yet because I still have to
think about how to weight _load_ and _free ratio_ - maybe also the "write
size", too.
> JBOD threshold to prevent unbalanced disk utilization

> Currently the pick the disks are picked first by number of current tasks,
> then by free space. This helps with performance but can lead to large
> differences in utilization in some (unlikely but possible) scenarios. Ive
> seen 55% to 10% and heard reports of 90% to 10% on IRC. With both LCS and
> STCS (although my suspicion is that STCS makes it worse since harder to be
> balanced).
> I purpose the algorithm change a little to have some maximum range of
> utilization where it will pick by free space over load (acknowledging it can
> be slower). So if a disk A is 30% full and disk B is 5% full it will never
> pick A over B until it balances out.
