Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-7438:
-------------------------------------------
If you turn the OOME throwing on in C* I am +1.
I did a quick performance test with the cache and compared it to the
SerializingCache. I didn't test a scenario where it would be better/faster, but
the performance looked just as good. Very noisy test with different results
every time I restarted so maybe not a great way to measure.
> Serializing Row cache alternative (Fully off heap)

> Key: CASSANDRA-7438

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Environment: Linux

> Assignee: Robert Stupp
> 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.
