-----------------------------------------
Assignee: Kannan Muthukkaruppan
> log rolling and cache flushing should be able to proceed in parallel
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Today, during a memstore flush (snapshot of memstore + flushing to disk), log
> rolling cannot happen. This seems like a bad design, and an unnecessary
> restriction.
> Possible reasons cited for this in code are:
> (i) maintenance of the lastSeqWritten map.
> (ii) writing a "completed-cache-flush" marker into the same log before the
> roll.
> It seems that we can implement a new design for (i) to avoid holding the lock
> for the entire duration of the flush. And the motivation for (ii) is not even
> clear. We should reason this out, and make sure we can relax the restriction.
