Benedict Elliott Smith commented on CASSANDRA-19564:
----------------------------------------------------
Hi [[email protected]] ,
There are no edge cases to consider here really. The logic to copy on heap
already exists, in fact all you need to do is to first read the iterator into
an {{ImmutableBTreePartition}} and the job is done for you, i.e. pass the
iterator to {{ImmutableBTreePartition.create()}}, then close the
{{ReadExecutionController}} before iterating over this copy to perform the
write.
The problem with timing out is that we need to handle this exception reliably.
One simple option might be to offer a special {{tryPut}} method that tells the
{{MemtableAllocator}} to fail with some dedicated {{Exception}} type that we
can trap within {{tryPut}}, to return {{false}} if thrown, informing the
compactor so it can loop and retry. I would oppose additional configuration for
timeouts, this is not a detail the user should be exposed to. In this scheme,
if {{tryPut}} fails we can repeat the read/put. Or, we can copy the read only
in this case and perform a normal {{put}}. This all requires a lot more
refactoring though.
