Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-7282:
----------------------------------------------
For the record, I'm not saying that we shouldn't do it - just that having the
data for different use cases, and not just one specific one, would be nice, and
ultimately necessary to make that judgement call. I'm expecting that it would
probably be worth incorporating.
But there definitely is *some* value in heavily battle-tested code when you
work on a database.

> Currently we maintain a ConcurrentSkipLastMap of DecoratedKey -> Partition in
> our memtables. Maintaining this is an O(lg(n)) operation; since the vast
> majority of users use a hash partitioner, it occurs to me we could maintain a
> hybrid ordered list / hash map. The list would impose the normal order on the
> collection, but a hash index would live alongside as part of the same data
> structure, simply mapping into the list and permitting O(1) lookups and
> inserts.
> I've chosen to implement this initial version as a linked-list node per item,
> but we can optimise this in future by storing fatter nodes that permit a
> cache-line's worth of hashes to be checked at once, further reducing the
> constant factor costs for lookups.
