Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-10855:
------------------------------------------
Haven't looked thoroughly through the code yet. One question:
{{lib/caffeine-2.3.3.jar}} has been changed in the patch. Is it a new version
of caffeine?
> Use Caffeine (W-TinyLFU) for on-heap caches

> Key: CASSANDRA-10855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10855
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ben Manes
> Labels: performance
> Attachments: CASSANDRA-10855.patch

>
> Cassandra currently uses
> [ConcurrentLinkedHashMap|https://code.google.com/p/concurrentlinkedhashmap]
> for performance critical caches (key, counter) and Guava's cache for
> non-critical (auth, metrics, security). All of these usages have been
> replaced by [Caffeine|https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine], written by the
> author of the previously mentioned libraries.
> The primary incentive is to switch from LRU policy to W-TinyLFU, which
> provides [near optimal|https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/wiki/Efficiency]
> hit rates. It performs particularly well in database and search traces, is
> scan resistant, and as adds a very small time/space overhead to LRU.
> Secondarily, Guava's caches never obtained similar
> [performance|https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/wiki/Benchmarks] to CLHM
> due to some optimizations not being ported over. This change results in
> faster reads and not creating garbage as a side-effect.
