[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-1434) ColumnFamilyOutputFormat performs blocking writes for large batches

["Philip (flip) Kromer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1434?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12904098#action_12904098 ] 

Philip (flip) Kromer commented on CASSANDRA-1434:
-------------------------------------------------

The blocking behavior is causing 'broken pipe' errors (even with relatively small batch sizes) when cassandra latency is high. 

It also makes the whole cluster resonate: one slow node blocks many writers, which then all unblock at the same time, write bursts of enough size to cause a compaction or GC, etc simultaneously on every node. This means adding more writers doesn't work around the blocking write

> By default, ColumnFamilyOutputFormat batches {{mapreduce.output.columnfamilyoutputformat.batch.threshold}} or {{Long.MAX_VALUE}} mutations, and then performs a blocking write.
