Jonathan Ellis updated CASSANDRA-51:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.3
> Memory footprint for memtable
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-51
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-51
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Sandeep Tata
> Assignee: Eric Evans
> Fix For: 0.3
>
>
> The implementation of EfficientBidiMap(EBM) today stores the column in two
> place, a map and a sorted set. Both data structures store exactly the same
> values.
> I assume we're storing this twice so that the map can give us O(1) reads
> while the sortedset is important for efficient flush. Is this tradeoff
> important ? Do we want to store the data twice to get O(1) reads over
> O(log(n)) reads from sortedset? Is the sortedset implementation broken?
> Perhaps we should consider a configuration option that turns off the map --
> write performance will be slightly improved, read performance will be
> somewhat worse, and the memory footprint will probably be about half.
> Certainly sounds like a good alternative tradeoff.
