(I think you mean [~tjake].)
> Create a Decompressed Chunk [block] Cache
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-5863
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5863
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: T Jake Luciani
> Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich
> Labels: performance
> Fix For: 2.1 beta2
>
>
> Currently, for every read, the CRAR reads each compressed chunk into a
> byte[], sends it to ICompressor, gets back another byte[] and verifies a
> checksum.
> This process is where the majority of time is spent in a read request.
> Before compression, we would have zero-copy of data and could respond
> directly from the page-cache.
> It would be useful to have some kind of Chunk cache that could speed up this
> process for hot data. Initially this could be a off heap cache but it would
> be great to put these decompressed chunks onto a SSD so the hot data lives on
> a fast disk similar to https://github.com/facebook/flashcache.
