[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6746) Reads have a slow ramp up in speed

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6746?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13915038#comment-13915038 ] 

Ryan McGuire commented on CASSANDRA-6746:
-----------------------------------------

I tried re-running this with a 'nodetool flush' on each node after it's done with the write. It looked the same as above. I'm running a test with a 5 minute wait between the write and read to see if that causes a change.

32G nodes. I'm not mucking with heap settings so it's using -Xms8023M
-Xmx8023M -Xmn1600M

I've been investigating this, but a bit slowly as was looking in the wrong
place. I haven't yet confirmed, but I have a strong suspicion of the
problem. Could you confirm the total physical memory on the nodes? If 8gb
or less, try applying the not yet committed patches in CASSANDRA-6692
(atomic b tree improvements), and setting the memtable_cleanup_threshold to
0.2, if you are looking at this today. I suspect it will fix it, although
if so it doesn't quite adequately explain the behaviour exactly. If you let
me know the cluster you're using I can test the same environment to make
sure I'm testing like for like as well.
