[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-2364) Record dynamic snitch latencies for counter writes

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2364?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13009756#comment-13009756 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2364:
-------------------------------------------

Disagree that we want to pollute read latency info w/ writes (which are almost impossible to slow down, so you're basically just measuring network latency and mixing that low-value info w/ the high-value signal the reads).

Also: always choosing the closest node to be the write coordinator seems like you lose the benefits of counter partitioning.

Suggest using static snitch info to prefer a coordinator from the local DC and randomly pick from those.

> The counter code chooses a single replica to coordinate a write, meaning that it should be subject to dynamic snitch latencies like a read would be. This already works when there are reads going on, because the dynamic snitch read latencies are used to pick a node to coordinate, but when there are no reads going on (such as during a backfill) the latencies do not adjust.
