Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3578:
-------------------------------------------
bq. I agree it's difficult to avoid talking about last when talking about next,
but this is typical since it's chained.
How about this?
{code}
// Everything before this offset has been synced and written. The
SYNC_MARKER_SIZE bytes after
// this offset are reserved, and point forwards to the next sync position.
The final
// sync marker in a segment will be zeroed out, or point to EOF.
private volatile int lastSyncedOffset;
{code}
> Multithreaded commitlog

> Brian Aker pointed out a while ago that allowing multiple threads to modify
> the commitlog simultaneously (reserving space for each with a CAS first, the
> way we do in the SlabAllocator.Region.allocate) can improve performance,
> since you're not bottlenecking on a single thread to do all the copying and
> CRC computation.
> Now that we use mmap'd CommitLog segments (CASSANDRA-3411) this becomes
> doable.
> (moved from CASSANDRA-622, which was getting a bit muddled.)
