Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-7438:
-----------------------------------------
Just pushed some OHC additions to github:
* key-iterator (used by CacheService class to invalidate column families)
* (de)serialization of cache content to disk using direct I/O from off-heap.
Means that the row cache content does not need to go though the heap for
serialization and deserialization. Compression should also be possible in
off-heap using the static methods in Snappy class since these expect direct
buffers so there's nearly no pressure for that on the heap. Background: the
implementation basically "lies" the address and length of the hash entry into
DirectByteBuffer class so FileChannel is able to read into it/write from it.
> 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.
