Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-8160: ------------------------------------------- Populate-on-open makes sense to me. I'm less sold on populate-on-write. Our history of trying to outsmart the page cache is not a happy one. > CF level option to call posix_fadvise for sstables on creation and startup > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8160 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8160 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Matt Stump > Assignee: Branimir Lambov > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1.2 > > > We should have a CF level configuration with will result in posix_fadvise > being called for sstables for that CF. It should be called on node startup > and for new sstables. This should be configurable per CF to allow for some > CFs to be prioritized above others. Not sure if we should use > POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL or POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
