[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-15350) Add CAS “uncertainty” and “contention" messages that are currently propagated as a WriteTimeoutException.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15350?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16971341#comment-16971341 ] 

Yifan Cai commented on CASSANDRA-15350:
---------------------------------------

The change of calculating the exact size of UTF-8 string has negative performance impact. It needs to iterate through the entire string to determine the actual size in UTF-8. 

The benchmark setup and the result:
{code:java}
     [java] Benchmark                                          Mode  Cnt    Score     Error  Units
     [java] Utf8StringEncodeBench.writeLongText                avgt    6  552.458 ±   9.141  ns/op
     [java] Utf8StringEncodeBench.writeLongTextWithExactSize   avgt    6  787.676 ± 120.057  ns/op
     [java] Utf8StringEncodeBench.writeShortText               avgt    6   70.311 ±   8.031  ns/op
     [java] Utf8StringEncodeBench.writeShortTextWithExactSize  avgt    6   71.716 ±   4.790  ns/op

{code}
I will revert the change.

> Right now, CAS uncertainty introduced in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6013 is propagating as WriteTimeout. One of this conditions it manifests is when there’s at least one acceptor that has accepted the value, which means that this value _may_ still get accepted during the later round, despite the proposer failure. Similar problem happens with CAS contention, which is also indistinguishable from the “regular” timeout, even though it is visible in metrics correctly.
