The blacklog of current and max in VIEW_BACKLOG is not update but the nodes are updating VIEW_BACKLOG all the time. For example: ``` INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:46,761 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.3, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486026590,718) INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:46,821 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.2, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486026531,742) INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:47,765 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.3, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486027590,721) INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:47,825 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.2, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486027531,745) INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:48,772 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.3, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486028590,726) INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:48,833 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.2, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486028531,750) INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:49,772 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.3, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486029590,729) INFO 2020-03-06 17:13:49,832 [shard 0] storage_service - Update system.peers table: endpoint=127.0.0.2, app_state=VIEW_BACKLOG, versioned_value=Value(0:18446744073709551615:1583486029531,753) ``` The downside of such updates: - Introduces more gossip exchange traffic - Updates system.peers all the time The extra unnecessary gossip traffic is fine to a cluster in a good shape but when some of the nodes or shards are loaded, such messages and the handling of such messages can make the system even busy. With this patch, VIEW_BACKLOG is updated only when the backlog is really updated. Btw, we can even make the update only when the change of the backlog is great than a threshold, e.g., 5%, which can reduce the traffic even further. Fixes #5970
