> h4. scenario:
> 1) high write throughput cluster
> 2) external services adding material cpu contention
> h4. symptoms:
> The row mutation stage falls *very* behind.
> h4. cause:
> ReentrantReadWriteLock's fair policy causes write lock acquisition / release 
> to require a material amount of CPU time.
> h4. summary:
> When there are other services contending for the CPU, the RRW lock's fair 
> policy causes write lock acquisition / release to take enough time to 
> eventually put threads waiting for read lock acquisition very behind.  We 
> repro'd this scenario by reducing the scope of the write lock to: 1 boolean 
> check, 1 boolean assignment, and 1 db.Memtable instantiation (itself, just: 2 
> variable assignments) w/ the same performance.  Modifying the fairness policy 
> to be the default policy allowed the row mutation stage to keep up.
