------------------------------------

             Summary: Batchlog replay is throttled during bootstrap
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13162
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13162
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Wei Deng


I've tested this in a C* 3.0 cluster with a couple of Materialized Views defined (one base table and two MVs on that base table). The data volume is not very high per node (about 80GB of data per node total, and that particular base table has about 25GB of data uncompressed with one MV taking 18GB compressed and the other MV taking 3GB), and the cluster is using decent hardware (EC2 C4.8XL with 18 cores + 60GB RAM + 18K IOPS RAID0 from two 3TB gp2 EBS volumes). 

This is originally a 9-node cluster. It appears that after adding 3 more nodes to the DC, the system.batches table accumulated a lot of data on the 3 new nodes, and in the subsequent week the batchlog on the 3 new nodes got slowly replayed back to the rest of the nodes in the cluster. The bottleneck seems to be the throttling defined in this cassandra.yaml setting: batchlog_replay_throttle_in_kb, which by default is set to 1MB/s.

Given that it is taking almost a week (and still hasn't finished) for the batchlog (from MV) to be replayed after the boostrap finishes, it seems only reasonable to unthrottle (or at least give it a much higher throttle rate) during the initial bootstrap, and hence I'd consider this a bug for our current MV implementation.

Also as far as I understand, the bootstrap logic won't wait for the backlogged batchlog to be fully replayed before changing the new bootstrapping node to "UN" state, and if batchlog for the MVs got stuck in this state for a long time, we basically will get wrong answers on the MVs during that whole duration (until batchlog is fully played to the cluster), which adds even more criticality to this bug.
