Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-9946:
-------------------------------------------
Setting this is harmless, but the only IO scheduler it works with is CFS unless
that has changed at some point. It also might not do much because the queue for
the IO scheduler is small, but I don't have good experimental data on that
other then that you certainly don't get completely fair IO scheduling.
> use ioprio_set on compaction threads by default instead of manually throttling

> Compaction throttling works as designed, but it has two drawbacks:
> * it requires manual tuning to choose the "right" value for a given machine
> * it does not allow compaction to "burst" above its limit if there is
> additional i/o capacity available while there are less application requests
> to serve
> Using ioprio_set instead solves both of these problems.
