[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8546) RangeTombstoneList becoming bottleneck on tombstone heavy tasks

["Benedict (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-8546:
-------------------------------------

Did you accidentally set me as assignee?

Either way, I suspect that a BTree would be superior here, since we get guaranteed logarithmic bounds for insertion and lookups, whereas it looks like GapList [is still O(N) for random inserts|http://java.dzone.com/articles/gaplist-lightning-fast-list]

> I would like to propose a change of the data structure used in the RangeTombstoneList to store and insert tombstone ranges to something with at least O(log N) insert in the middle and at near O(1) and start AND end. Here is why:
> When having tombstone heavy work-loads the current implementation of RangeTombstoneList becomes a bottleneck with slice queries.
> Scanning the number of tombstones up to the default maximum (100k) can take up to 3 minutes of how addInternal() scales on insertion of middle and start elements.
> The attached test shows that with 50k deletes from both sides of a range.
> INSERT 1...110000
> flush()
> DELETE 1...50000
> DELETE 110000...60000
> While one direction performs ok (~400ms on my notebook):
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM timeseries WHERE name = 'a' ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1
> {code}
> The other direction underperforms (~7seconds on my notebook)
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM timeseries WHERE name = 'a' ORDER BY timestamp ASC LIMIT 1
> {code}
