             Summary: Optimize locking in PaxosState
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7359
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7359
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: sankalp kohli
            Priority: Minor


In PaxosState, we want to lock on same rows and have created 1024 size array with java Objects in them to be used for locking. 
We should replace these Objects with some Lock so that we can know whether there is contention trying to acquire a lock for different rows.
We can achieve that by also storing the hash of the row which acquired the lock. This will tell us if this needs to be improved. 

Here is an improvement which I was thinking about. 
Say two rows A and B map to the same 1024 bucket which we have. A get the lock and B has to wait. Here B can check if his hash is different and create a new object and chain it to the other one. 
This looks close to a hashMap with chaining for same key. 
The hard part will be removing the entries no longer being used.
