[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-19429) Remove lock contention generated by getCapacity function in SSTableReader

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19429?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17899989#comment-17899989 ]

No, I am sorry. Totally swamped these days ... I was thinking about this lately and I think that it would make more sense to focus on trunk only and leave 4.0 / 4.1 be. I understand that we might gain some performance increase in lower branches too but I am not completely sure it is worth it. The type of machines you used for discovering this type of issue are hardly used in common. I do not think clusters with nodes having 96 cores and 768 GB of memory are used often. This is in a realm of hypothetical workloads and even you specifically used this instance type for perf testing we should also take into the consideration the practical benefits. These patches for 4.0 / 4.1 are beyond trivial and we should be cautious about not over-doing that unnecessarily. 

What are the performance gains for, let's say, 16 cores with 32 GB memory? Could you measure that?

> Profiling Cassandra 4.1.3 on large AWS instances, a high number of lock acquires is measured in the `getCapacity` function from `org/apache/cassandra/cache/InstrumentingCache` (1.9M lock acquires per 60 seconds). Based on our tests on r8g.24xlarge instances (using Ubuntu 22.04), this limits the CPU utilization of the system to under 50% when testing at full load and therefore limits the achieved throughput.
> Removing the lock contention from the SSTableReader.java file by replacing the call to `getCapacity` with `size` achieves up to 2.95x increase in throughput on r8g.24xlarge and 2x on r7i.24xlarge:
> |Instance type|Cass 4.1.3|Cass 4.1.3 patched|
> |r8g.24xlarge|168k ops|496k ops (2.95x)|
> |r7i.24xlarge|153k ops|304k ops (1.98x)|
>  
> Instructions to reproduce:
> {code:java}
> ## Requirements for Ubuntu 22.04
> sudo apt install -y ant git openjdk-11-jdk
> ## Build and run
> CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11=true ant realclean && CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11=true ant jar && CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11=true ant stress-build  && rm -rf data && bin/cassandra -f -R
> # Run
