Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-4718:
-------------------------------------
[~enigmacurry] it would be great to see equivalent runs for a regular
out-of-memory workload as well, just to make sure there aren't any weird
results. Thanks!
> More-efficient ExecutorService for improved throughput

> Currently all our execution stages dequeue tasks one at a time. This can
> result in contention between producers and consumers (although we do our best
> to minimize this by using LinkedBlockingQueue).
> One approach to mitigating this would be to make consumer threads do more
> work in "bulk" instead of just one task per dequeue. (Producer threads tend
> to be single-task oriented by nature, so I don't see an equivalent
> opportunity there.)
> BlockingQueue has a drainTo(collection, int) method that would be perfect for
> this. However, no ExecutorService in the jdk supports using drainTo, nor
> could I google one.
> What I would like to do here is create just such a beast and wire it into (at
> least) the write and read stages. (Other possible candidates for such an
> optimization, such as the CommitLog and OutboundTCPConnection, are not
> ExecutorService-based and will need to be one-offs.)
> AbstractExecutorService may be useful. The implementations of
> ICommitLogExecutorService may also be useful. (Despite the name these are not
> actual ExecutorServices, although they share the most important properties of
> one.)
