Jeremiah Jordan reopened CASSANDRA-8771:
----------------------------------------
This is still an issue in C* 2.1. Can we do a simple fix to just disable reuse
of commit log segments in 2.1?
> Remove commit log segment recycling
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-8771
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8771
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Ariel Weisberg
> Assignee: Ariel Weisberg
> Labels: commitlog
> Fix For: 2.2.0 beta 1

> For discussion
> Commit log segment recycling introduces a lot of complexity in the existing
> code.
> CASSANDRA-8729 is a side effect of commit log segment recycling and
> addressing it will require memory management code and thread coordination for
> memory that the filesystem will no longer handle for us.
> There is some discussion about what storage configurations actually benefit
> from preallocated files. Fast random access devices like SSDs, or
> non-volatile write caches etc. make the distinction not that great.
> I haven't measured any difference in throughput for bulk appending vs
> overwriting although it was pointed out that I didn't test with concurrent IO
> streams.
> What would it take to make removing commit log segment recycling acceptable?
> Maybe a benchmark on a spinning disk that measures the performance impact of
> preallocation when there are other IO streams?
