[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-3997) Make SerializingCache Memory Pluggable

["Vladimir Rodionov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3997?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13735743#comment-13735743 ] 

Vladimir Rodionov commented on CASSANDRA-3997:
----------------------------------------------

A little bit late but better ever than never ...

"JEMalloc but the only issue with it is that (both TCMalloc and JEMalloc) are kind of single threaded (at-least they crash in my test otherwise)."

JEmalloc must be configured with :
{code}
--disable-lazy-lock
    Disable code that wraps pthread_create() to detect when an application
    switches from single-threaded to multi-threaded mode, so that it can avoid
    mutex locking/unlocking operations while in single-threaded mode.  In
    practice, this feature usually has little impact on performance unless
    thread-specific caching is disabled.
{code}

jemalloc, by deafult wraps pthread API and tries to detect when when an application
    switches from single-threaded to multi-threaded mode. This trick does not work inside JVM of course.

> Serializing cache uses native malloc and free by making FM pluggable, users will have a choice of gcc malloc, TCMalloc or JEMalloc as needed. 
> Initial tests shows less fragmentation in JEMalloc but the only issue with it is that (both TCMalloc and JEMalloc) are kind of single threaded (at-least they crash in my test otherwise).
