graham sanderson commented on CASSANDRA-7546:
---------------------------------------------
Had a lot going on... have this running in beta right now (without double
counting), but haven't had a chance to deliberately test it with a node down.
That said, it does detect OpsCenter.pdps in beta (we generally have OpsCenter
turned off in production for high volume stuff, and this would seem to validate
our decision)
Anyway, I myself am now on vacation for the next 10 days... I'd be super
interested if we could see some results from 2.1
> AtomicSortedColumns.addAllWithSizeDelta has a spin loop that allocates memory

> In order to preserve atomicity, this code attempts to read, clone/update,
> then CAS the state of the partition.
> Under heavy contention for updating a single partition this can cause some
> fairly staggering memory growth (the more cores on your machine the worst it
> gets).
> Whilst many usage patterns don't do highly concurrent updates to the same
> partition, hinting today, does, and in this case wild (order(s) of magnitude
> more than expected) memory allocation rates can be seen (especially when the
> updates being hinted are small updates to different partitions which can
> happen very fast on their own) - see CASSANDRA-7545
> It would be best to eliminate/reduce/limit the spinning memory allocation
> whilst not slowing down the very common un-contended case.
