Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-7438:
-----------------------------------------
rehashing: growing (x2) is already implemented, shrinking (/2) shouldn't be a
big issue, too. The implementation only locks the currently processed
partitions during rehash.
"put" operation: fixed (was definitely a bug), cleanup is running concurrently
and trigger on "out of memory" condition
block sizes: will give it a try (fixed vs. different sizes vs. variable sized
(no blocks))
per-partition locks: already thought about it - not sure whether it's worth the
additional RW-lock overhead since partition lock time is very low during normal
operation
metrics: some (very basic) metrics are already in it - will add some more timer
metrics (configurable)
[[email protected]] can you catch {{OutOfMemoryError}} for Unsafe.allocate()
? It should not go up the whole call stack.
> Serializing Row cache alternative (Fully off heap)

> Currently SerializingCache is partially off heap, keys are still stored in
> JVM heap as BB,
> * There is a higher GC costs for a reasonably big cache.
> * Some users have used the row cache efficiently in production for better
> results, but this requires careful tunning.
> * Overhead in Memory for the cache entries are relatively high.
> So the proposal for this ticket is to move the LRU cache logic completely off
> heap and use JNI to interact with cache. We might want to ensure that the new
> implementation match the existing API's (ICache), and the implementation
> needs to have safe memory access, low overhead in memory and less memcpy's
> (As much as possible).
> We might also want to make this cache configurable.
