> I suggested this in a ML thread but it seems that nobody actually tried it.  
> I think it's worth following up on:
> You could try setting the compaction thread to a lower priority.  You could 
> add a thread priority to NamedThreadPool, and pass that up from 
> CompactionExecutor constructor.  According to 
> http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/threads/priority_what.shtml you have to run 
> as root and add a JVM option to get this to work.
> In particular, Brandon saw stress.py read latencies spike to 100ms during 
> [anti]compaction on a 2 core machine.  I'd like to see if this can mitigate 
> that.
