----------------------------------------
    Component/s: Core

> Check for Thread.start()
> ------------------------
>
>                 Key: CASSANDRA-8583
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8583
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Core
>            Reporter: Robert Stupp
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Old classes sometimes still use 
> {noformat}
>   new Thread(...).start()
> {noformat}
> which might be costly.
> This ticket's about to find and possibly fix such code.
> Locations in code worth to investigate (IMO). This list is not prioritized - it's just the order I've found "Thread.start()"
> # {{org.apache.cassandra.streaming.compress.CompressedInputStream#CompressedInputStream}} creates one thread per input stream to decompress in a separate thread. If necessary, should be easily replaceable with a thread-pool
> # {{org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter#SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter(java.io.File, org.apache.cassandra.config.CFMetaData, org.apache.cassandra.dht.IPartitioner, long)}} creates one thread per write. If necessary, should be easily replaceable with a thread-pool
> # {{org.apache.cassandra.streaming.ConnectionHandler.MessageHandler#start}} creates one thread. If necessary, should be easily replaceable with a thread-pool.
> # {{org.apache.cassandra.net.OutboundTcpConnection#handshakeVersion}} creates one thread just to implement a timeout. Not sure why not just using {{Socket.setSoTimeout}}
> # {{org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService#forceRepairAsync(java.lang.String, org.apache.cassandra.repair.messages.RepairOption)}} creates one thread per repair. Not sure whether it's worth to investigate this one, since repairs are "long running" operations
> # {{org.apache.cassandra.db.index.SecondaryIndex#buildIndexAsync}} creates a thread. Not sure whether it's worth to investigate this one.
> Beside these, there are threads used in {{MessagingService}} and for streaming (blocking I/O model). These could be changed by using non-blocking I/O - but that's a much bigger task with much higher risks.
