Michael Kjellman commented on CASSANDRA-11206: ---------------------------------------------- going thru the changes and have some questions :) # RowIndexEntry$serializedSize used to return the size of the index for the entire row. As the size of the IndexInfo elements are variable length I'm having trouble understanding how the new/current implementation does this: {code} private static int serializedSize(DeletionTime deletionTime, long headerLength, int columnIndexCount) { return TypeSizes.sizeofUnsignedVInt(headerLength) + (int) DeletionTime.serializer.serializedSize(deletionTime) + TypeSizes.sizeofUnsignedVInt(columnIndexCount); } {code} # In the class level Javadoc for IndexInfo there is a lot of comment about serialization format changes and even a comment "Serialization format changed in 3.0" yet I don't see any corresponding changes in BigFormat$BigVersion > Support large partitions on the 3.0 sstable format > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-11206 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11206 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Local Write-Read Paths > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Robert Stupp > Labels: docs-impacting > Fix For: 3.6 > > Attachments: 11206-gc.png, trunk-gc.png > > > Cassandra saves a sample of IndexInfo objects that store the offset within > each partition of every 64KB (by default) range of rows. To find a row, we > binary search this sample, then scan the partition of the appropriate range. > The problem is that this scales poorly as partitions grow: on a cache miss, > we deserialize the entire set of IndexInfo, which both creates a lot of GC > overhead (as noted in CASSANDRA-9754) but is also non-negligible i/o activity > (relative to reading a single 64KB row range) as partitions get truly large. > We introduced an "offset map" in CASSANDRA-10314 that allows us to perform > the IndexInfo bsearch while only deserializing IndexInfo that we need to > compare against, i.e. log(N) deserializations. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
