Wei Deng created CASSANDRA-11035: ------------------------------------ Summary: Use cardinality estimation to pick better compaction candidates for STCS (SizeTieredCompactionStrategy) Key: CASSANDRA-11035 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11035 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Components: Compaction Reporter: Wei Deng
This was initially mentioned in this blog post http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/improving-compaction-in-cassandra-with-cardinality-estimation but I couldn't find any existing JIRA for it. As stated by [~jbellis], "Potentially even more useful would be using cardinality estimation to pick better compaction candidates. Instead of blindly merging sstables of a similar size a la SizeTieredCompactionStrategy." The L0 STCS in LCS should benefit as well. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
