             Summary: Speedup Cassandra tests execution
                 Key: CASSANDRA-21383
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-21383
             Project: Apache Cassandra
          Issue Type: Epic
          Components: Test/dtest/java, Test/dtest/python, Test/unit
            Reporter: Dmitry Konstantinov
            Assignee: Dmitry Konstantinov


An epic for improvements in Cassandra tests execution time.

Ideas:
 * Review startup/shutdown/before & after individual test logic for CQLTester
 ** Reduce number of flushes to disk
 *** TCM triggered: UNSAFE_SYSTEM("cassandra.unsafesystem") is introduced in 
Accord tests, we can try to use it for majority of other tests too
 *** SystemKeyspace#setLocalHostId - skip flush for tests
 *** dropping of tables after test execution causes a flush, we can try to skip 
it
 *** 
CommitLog.instance.forceRecycleAllSegments(Collections.singleton(metadata.id)); 
on drop, can we skip it for tests?
 ** Avoid non-needed SSL logic/libraries load - TEST_JVM_DTEST_DISABLE_SSL 
option
 ** Disable snapshots (auto_snapshot: false)
 ** org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider#getSeeds - loads yaml 
again, can we avoid it?
 ** Schema.instance.saveSystemKeyspace() - disable for tests?
 ** org.apache.cassandra.ServerTestUtils#cleanup - bulk removal, ca we do it 
for for all directories together (one invocation of rm process instead of many)?
 ** JSON write: 
org.apache.cassandra.db.commitlog.CommitLogDescriptor#constructParametersString 
- we spend time here to load and init JSON ObjectMapper
 ** Do not inherit DisableSslContextFactory from AbstractSslContextFactory to 
avoid caffein cache creation and other cinit/init logic
 ** AccordService init - can we skip to for logic when accord is not needed?
 ** avoid MBeans register if a test does not need it?
 ** 
CassandraXMLJUnitResultFormatter - do we really need hostname in XML report to 
spend time to retrieve it?
 ** DisableĀ 
com.datastax.driver.USE_NATIVE_CLOCK to avoid native JNR library loadingĀ 
 * Test combinations
 ** Analyze current tests for different configurations & JVM versions, do we 
really need a full cartesian join
 * Slowest tests assessment
 ** check tests for non-efficient awaiting patterns (like sleeping to wait for 
events)
 * JVM level
 ** disable C2 (TieredStopAtLevel=1)
 ** adjust GC settings (try serial GC)
 ** CDS (Class Data Sharing)
 ** metaspace optimal size to avoid metaspace-triggered full GC
