Read latency skyrockets after 95-98th percentile

hey list, i've been trying to understand why we are seeing rather nasty read latency peaks in as much as 2% of our total read ( not sure what the underlying thrift call is, should be get_slice ) requests that we have been **unable to tie to garbage collection or blocking I/O.** This is what i m
