[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-10971) Compressed commit log has no backpressure and can OOM

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10971?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ariel Weisberg updated CASSANDRA-10971:
---------------------------------------
    Status: Patch Available  (was: In Progress)

Turns out I did need to poke the CLSM thread, but it's not a big deal to pass in a handle for poking it.

> I validated this via a unit test that slowed the ability of the log to drain to the filesystem. The compressed commit log will keep allocating buffers pending compression until it OOMs.
> I have a fix that am not very happy with because the whole signal a thread to allocate a segment that depends on a resource that may not be available results in some obtuse usage of {{CompleatableFuture}} to rendezvous available buffers with {{CommitLogSegmentManager}} thread waiting to finish constructing a new segment. The {{CLSM}} thread is in turn signaled by the thread(s) that actually wants to write to the next segment, but aren't able to do it themselves.
