> I've run into an issue on a 4.1.4 cluster where an entire node has locked up
> due to what I believe is a deadlock in memtable flushing. Here's what I know
> so far. I've stitched together what happened based on conversations, logs,
> and some flame graphs.
> *Log reports memtable flushing*
> The last successful flush happens at 12:19.

> The flame graph reveals that PostFlush.call is stuck. I don't have the line

> *Memtable flushing is now blocked.*
> All MemtableFlushWriter threads are Parked waiting on
> {{{}OpOrder.Barrier.await{}}}. A wall clock profile of 30s reveals all time
> is spent here. Presumably we're waiting on the single threaded Post Flush.

> *Memtable allocations start to block*
> Eventually it looks like the NativeAllocator stops successfully allocating
> memory. I assume it's waiting on memory to be freed, but since memtable
> flushes are blocked, we wait indefinitely.
> Looking at a wall clock flame graph, all writer threads have reached the
> allocation failure path of {{MemtableAllocator.allocate()}}. I believe we're
> waiting on {{signal.awaitThrowUncheckedOnInterrupt()}}

> *Compaction Stops*
> Since we write to the compaction history table, and that requires memtables,
> compactions are now blocked as well.
