T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1470:
-------------------------------------------

bq.   Oh, and one more thing: Just to bring it up again since we're back to 
direct i/o vs. posix_fadvise(): Be aware that posix_fadvise() is not truly 
portable in practice even though it's POSIX.

I think we should only really care about linux ATM,  most everyone should be 
using this anyway for production 

> use direct io for compaction

> When compaction scans through a group of sstables, it forces the data in the 
> os buffer cache being used for hot reads, which can have a dramatic negative 
> effect on performance.
