> We just ran into a flush storm caused by the PeriodicFlusher.
> Many memstore became eligible for flushing at exactly the same time, the effect we've seen is that the exact same region was flushed multiple times, because the flusher wakes up too often (every 10s). The jitter of 20s is larger than that and it takes some time to actually flush the memstore.
> Here's one example. We've seen 100's of these, monopolizing the flush queue and preventing "important" flushes from happening.

> So we need to increase the period of the PeriodicFlusher to at least the random jitter, also increase the default random jitter (20s does not help with many regions).
