graham sanderson updated CASSANDRA-7546:
----------------------------------------
    Attachment: graph3_7546.png

Attached graph3_7546.png, which is heap buffer and one node down (hinting)... 
things look good - there is some noise in .999

> AtomicSortedColumns.addAllWithSizeDelta has a spin loop that allocates memory

> In order to preserve atomicity, this code attempts to read, clone/update, 
> then CAS the state of the partition.
> Under heavy contention for updating a single partition this can cause some 
> fairly staggering memory growth (the more cores on your machine the worst it 
> gets).
> Whilst many usage patterns don't do highly concurrent updates to the same 
> partition, hinting today, does, and in this case wild (order(s) of magnitude 
> more than expected) memory allocation rates can be seen (especially when the 
> updates being hinted are small updates to different partitions which can 
> happen very fast on their own) - see CASSANDRA-7545
> It would be best to eliminate/reduce/limit the spinning memory allocation 
> whilst not slowing down the very common un-contended case.
