Stefan Podkowinski commented on CASSANDRA-12966:
------------------------------------------------
I'm +1 assuming tests look fine after rebasing. Maybe check if
{{DatabaseDescriptor.createAllDirectories()}} is really required, as this is
already called by the {{Keyspace}} static initializer.

>
> When using batch commit log mode, the Gossip thread slows down when peers
> after a node bounces. This is because we perform a bunch of updates to the
> peers table via {{SystemKeyspace.updatePeerInfo}}, which is a synchronized
> method. How quickly each one of those individual updates takes depends on how
> busy the system is at the time wrt write traffic. If the system is largely
> quiescent, each update will be relatively quick (just waiting for the fsync).
> If the system is getting a lot of writes, and depending on the
> commitlog_sync_batch_window_in_ms, each of the Gossip thread's updates can
> get stuck in the backlog, which causes the Gossip thread to stop processing.
> We have observed in large clusters that a rolling restart causes triggers and
> exacerbates this behavior.
