Wayne Lewis updated CASSANDRA-4316:
-----------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 1.0.1)
1.0.9
> Compaction Throttle too bursty with large rows
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-4316
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4316
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.9, 1.1.0
> Reporter: Wayne Lewis
>
> In org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionIterable the check for
> compaction throttling occurs once every 1000 rows. In our workload this is
> much too large as we have many large rows (16 - 100 MB).
> With a 100 MB row, about 100 GB is read (and possibly written) before the
> compaction throttle sleeps. This causes bursts of essentially unthrottled
> compaction IO followed by a long sleep which yields inconsistence performance
> and high error rates during the bursts.
> We applied a workaround to check throttle every row which solved our
> performance and error issues:
> line 116 in org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionIterable:
> if ((row++ % 1000) == 0)
> replaced with
> if ((row++ % 1) == 0)
> I think the better solution is to calculate how often throttle should be
> checked based on the throttle rate to apply sleeps more consistently. E.g. if
> 16MB/sec is the limit then check for sleep after every 16MB is read so sleeps
> are spaced out about every second.
