Are we really ready for this? It would be good to have benchmark results showing this is not going to be a regression for some use-cases. It seems like we still have unresolved performance issues that appear to be tied to this allocator, e.g.:#4536.

We do have benchmarks on TPCDS at various scale factors. The idea is turn this on early in 22.04 and get it more widely tested and benchmarked. If we do run into some block we can always revert it back before the release is cut.

Do we have those metrics isolated to just this change? There are quite a few performance improvements going in recently, and I want to make sure we don't end up masking a regression from the async allocator with a performance improvement from elsewhere.

I would really like to see what this allocator costs for queries that don't spill, and last I knew we only had metrics at scale for UCX shuffle which of course can spill quite a lot due to its aggressive caching of shuffle outputs. The only metrics I've seen for a query that doesn't spill is from #4536, and I find it odd that we want to check this in without first understanding the impact footprint for a 500X slowdown.

To be clear most of the tests didn't show that slowness. I would need to do some more analysis to see if there was any real difference that I saw beyond this one corner case.

This is the result for TPCDS at 1TB. I'll dig more into #4536.
ARENA vs ASYNC allocator

#4536 turns out to be a red herring.
