Hi,

  Any thoughts on this?  I added a timeout to my client so its not impacted
(other than missing some data, but that's okay).  However, I still see large
spikes in the node_(get|put)_fsm_time_100 stats (normal operation seems to be
about 1200, and I see spikes up to 200000).
 
  One thing I thought of is upping the number of async threads.  I did
increase the number of partitions to 1024 and with only 4 nodes in the
ring I could be hitting some sort of locking at the bitcask layer.

  Are there any maintenance tasks that happen with bitcask that could
cause lag?  For instance in our frequency server which uses riak_core
with a linked in driver for a backend, we have to grow the file every
so often which lead to these sort of spikes, so maybe bitcask has some
thing similar?

Thanks,

-Anthony
