Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-8384: ------------------------------------------- the branch containing the patch is [here|https://github.com/blerer/cassandra/tree/8384-8099]. The patch has been made on top of {{8099}} as discussed off line with [~iamaleksey]. The patch still accept the old option names but will log a warning the first time that they are used. The unit tests are [here|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/blerer/job/blerer-8384-8099-testall/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/] and the Dtests are [here|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/blerer/job/blerer-8384-8099-dtest/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/]. I do not think that my patch introduced any failure but it is hard to say as a lot of tests are failing with {{8099}}. > Change CREATE TABLE syntax for compression options > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8384 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8384 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Aleksey Yeschenko > Assignee: Benjamin Lerer > Labels: doc-impacting, docs > Fix For: 3.x > > > Currently, `compression` table options are inconsistent with the likes of it > (table `compaction`, keyspace `replication`). > I suggest we change it for 3.0, like we did change `caching` syntax for 2.1 > (while continuing to accept the old syntax for a release). > I recommend the following changes: > 1. rename `sstable_compression` to `class`, to make it consistent > `compression` and `replication` > 2. rename `chunk_length_kb` to `chunk_length_in_kb`, to match > `memtable_flush_period_in_ms`, or, alternatively, to just `chunk_length`, > with `memtable_flush_period_in_ms` renamed to `memtable_flush_period` - > consistent with every other CQL option everywhere else > 3. add a boolean `enabled` option, to match `compaction`. Currently, the > official way to disable comression is an ugly, ugly hack (see CASSANDRA-8288) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
