-----------------------------------------

             Summary: 
org.apache.cassandra.io.util.DataOutputBuffer#scratchBuffer is around 50% of 
all memory allocations
                 Key: CASSANDRA-16471
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16471
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Local/Caching
            Reporter: David Capwell

While running workflows to compare 3.0 with trunk we found that allocations and 
GC are significantly higher for a write mostly workload (22% read, 3% delete, 
75% write); below is what we saw for a 2h run

Allocations
30: 1.64TB
40: 2.99TB

GC Events
30: 7.39k events
40: 13.93k events

When looking at the allocation output we saw the follow for memory allocations

Here we see that org.apache.cassandra.io.util.DataOutputBuffer#expandToFit is 
around 52% of the memory allocations.  When looking at this logic I see that 
allocations are on-heap and constantly throw away the buffer (as a means to 
allow GC to clean up).

With the patch, allocations/gc are the following

Allocations
30: 1.64TB
40 w/ patch: 1.77TB
40: 2.99TB

GC Events
30: 7.39k events
40 w/ patch: 8k events
40: 13.93k events
