             Summary: Remove lock contention generated by getCapacity function 
in SSTableReader
                 Key: CASSANDRA-19429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19429
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Dipietro Salvatore
         Attachments: asprof_cass4.1.3__lock_20240216052912lock.html

Profiling Cassandra 4.1.3 on large AWS instances, a high number of lock 
acquires is measured in the `getCapacity` function from 
`org/apache/cassandra/cache/InstrumentingCache` (1.9M lock acquires per 60 
seconds). Based on our tests on r8g.24xlarge instances (using Ubuntu 22.04), 
this limits the CPU utilization of the system to under 50% when testing at full 
load and therefore limits the achieved throughput. 

Removing the lock contention from the SSTableReader.java file by replacing the 
call to `getCapacity` with `size` achieves up to 2.95x increase in throughput 
on r8g.24xlarge and 2x on r7i.24xlarge:

| Instance type | Cass 4.1.3 | Cass 4.1.3 patched |
| ------------- | ---------- | ------------------ |
| r8g.24xlarge  |  168k  ops |  496k ops (2.95x)  |
| r7i.24xlarge  |  153k  ops |  304k ops (1.98x)  |


Instructions to reproduce:
```bash
## Requirements for Ubuntu 22.04
sudo apt install -y ant git openjdk-11-jdk

## Build and run
CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11=true ant realclean && CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11=true ant jar && 
CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11=true ant stress-build  && rm -rf data && bin/cassandra -f -R

# Run
bin/cqlsh -e 'drop table if exists keyspace1.standard1;' && \
bin/cqlsh -e 'drop keyspace if exists keyspace1;' && \
bin/nodetool clearsnapshot --all && tools/bin/cassandra-stress write n=10000000 
cl=ONE -rate threads=384 -node 127.0.0.1 -log file=cload.log -graph 
file=cload.html && \
bin/nodetool compact keyspace1   && sleep 30s && \
tools/bin/cassandra-stress mixed ratio\(write=10,read=90\) duration=10m cl=ONE 
-rate threads=406 -node localhost -log file=result.log -graph file=graph.html
```
