Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6271:
-------------------------------------------

Ah, right.

How about this then to make that more obvious?

{code}
        while (true)
        {
            pop();
            i = currentIndex() + 1;
            node = currentNode();
            if (i < getKeyEnd(node) || isRoot())
            {
                setIndex(i);
                return;
            }
        }
{code}

(no separate setIndex needed after the loop)

> On the write path a huge percentage of time is spent in GC (>50% in my tests, 
> if accounting for slow down due to parallel marking). SnapTrees are both GC 
> unfriendly due to their structure and also very expensive to keep around - 
> each column name in AtomicSortedColumns uses > 100 bytes on average 
> (excluding the actual ByteBuffer).
> I suggest using a sorted array; changes are supplied at-once, as opposed to 
> one at a time, and if < 10% of the keys in the array change (and data equal 
> to < 10% of the size of the key array) we simply overlay a new array of 
> changes only over the top. Otherwise we rewrite the array. This method should 
> ensure much less GC overhead, and also save approximately 80% of the current 
> memory overhead.
> TreeMap is similarly difficult object for the GC, and a related task might be 
> to remove it where not strictly necessary, even though we don't keep them 
> hanging around for long. TreeMapBackedSortedColumns, for instance, seems to 
> be used in a lot of places where we could simply sort the columns.
