Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-7438:
-----------------------------------------
[~aweisberg] thanks for that write up! A lot of very good findings, ideas and
recommendations. Already implemented some of them - short story:
* tend to move from fixed-block-allocation to {{Unsafe.alloc}} - quick
benchmarks show similar results
* StampedLock and LongAdder in J8 are great
* will see how a to implement a better partition management and overall LRU
story
> Serializing Row cache alternative (Fully off heap)
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-7438
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7438
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Vijay
> Assignee: Vijay
> Labels: performance
> Fix For: 3.0

> 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.
