T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-7987: ------------------------------------------- It could be less pain early on especially if, like you say, they don't really need it. But I think it's a strong assumption that your queries correspond with your sstables (range tombstones). I think it's safer to say if you can't predict the size of your partition then you should use LCS. > Better defaults for CQL tables with clustering keys > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7987 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7987 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: T Jake Luciani > Priority: Minor > Labels: lhf > Fix For: 3.0 > > > We currently default to STCS regardless. If a user creates a table with > clustering keys (maybe specifically types with likely high cardinality?) We > should set compaction to LCS. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
