> {quote}...when a Memtable reaches its threshold, up to (all) N write threads
> will often notice, and race to acquire the writeLock in order to freeze the
> memtable. This means that we do way more writeLock acquisitions than we need
> to...{quote}
> See CASSANDRA-1930 for backstory, but adding double checking inside a read
> lock before trying to re-entrantly acquire the writelock would eliminate most
> of these excess writelock acquisitions.
> Alternatively, we should explore removing locking from these structures
> entirely, and replacing the writeLock acquisition with a per-memtable counter
> of active threads.
