Vijay commented on CASSANDRA-3578:
----------------------------------
Found the bottleneck in the current!
Actually this happens during buffer.force()... CL.add queue is capped by
commitlog_periodic_queue_size
{code}
public int commitlog_periodic_queue_size = 1024 *
FBUtilities.getAvailableProcessors();
{code}
Hence, till we flush() (is called every 10 seconds) the writes to the CL us
blocked. Hope that makes sense...

> Brian Aker pointed out a while ago that allowing multiple threads to modify
> the commitlog simultaneously (reserving space for each with a CAS first, the
> way we do in the SlabAllocator.Region.allocate) can improve performance,
> since you're not bottlenecking on a single thread to do all the copying and
> CRC computation.
> Now that we use mmap'd CommitLog segments (CASSANDRA-3411) this becomes
> doable.
> (moved from CASSANDRA-622, which was getting a bit muddled.)
