> When we test C*3 in shadow cluster, we notice after a period of time, several data node suddenly run into 100% cpu and stop process query anymore.
> After investigation, we found that threads are stuck on the sum() in streaminghistogram class. Those are jmx threads that working on expose getTombStoneRatio metrics (since jmx is kicked off every 3 seconds, there is a chance that multiple jmx thread is access streaminghistogram at the same time).  
> After further investigation, we find that the optimization in CASSANDRA-13038 led to a spool flush every time when we call sum(). Since TreeMap is not thread safe, threads will be stuck when multiple threads visit sum() at the same time.
> There are two approaches to solve this issue. 
> The first one is to add a lock to the flush in sum() which will introduce some extra overhead to streaminghistogram.
> The second one is to avoid streaminghistogram to be access by multiple threads. For our specific case, is to remove the metrics we added.
