T Jake Luciani updated CASSANDRA-1902:
--------------------------------------

    Description: 
Post CASSANDRA-1470 there is an opportunity to migrate cached pages from a 
pre-compacted CF during the compaction process.  This is now important since 
CASSANDRA-1470 caches effectively nothing.  

For example an active CF being compacted hurts reads since nothing is cached in 
the new SSTable. 

The purpose of this ticket then is to make sure SOME data is cached from active 
CFs. This can be done my monitoring which Old SSTables are in the page cache 
and caching active rows in the New SStable.



A simpler yet similar approach is described here:

  was:
Post CASSANDRA-1470 there is an opportunity to migrate cached pages from a 
pre-compacted CF during the compaction process.  

First, add a method to MmappedSegmentFile: long[] pagesInPageCache() that uses 
the posix mincore() function to detect the offsets of pages for this file 
currently in page cache.

Then add getActiveKeys() which uses underlying pagesInPageCache() to get the 
keys actually in the page cache.

use getActiveKeys() to detect which SSTables being compacted are in the os 
cache and make sure the subsequent pages in the new compacted SSTable are kept 
in the page cache for these keys. This will minimize the impact of compacting a 
"hot" SSTable.
