Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-47: ------------------------------------------- bq. This should be a per-cf option IMO with a default of "compressed" I'm -1 on the default to compressed. This would mean upon upgrade, people would get their file compressed unless they do something about it. This is new code and we're talking about the data files. I will be happy to set the default to compressed in a year, but not now. > SSTable compression > ------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-47 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-47 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich > Labels: compression > Fix For: 1.0 > > Attachments: CASSANDRA-47-v2.patch, CASSANDRA-47-v3-rebased.patch, > CASSANDRA-47-v3.patch, CASSANDRA-47.patch, snappy-java-1.0.3-rc4.jar > > > We should be able to do SSTable compression which would trade CPU for I/O > (almost always a good trade). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
