> We just ran into a flush storm caused by the PeriodicFlusher.
> Many memstore became eligible for flushing at exactly the same time, the
> effect we've seen is that the exact same region was flushed multiple times,
> because the flusher wakes up too often (every 10s). The jitter of 20s is
> larger than that and it takes some time to actually flush the memstore.
> Here's one example. We've seen 100's of these, monopolizing the flush queue
> and preventing "important" flushes from happening.

> So we need to increase the period of the PeriodicFlusher to at least the
> random jitter, also increase the default random jitter (20s does not help
> with many regions).
