Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-9829:
-------------------------------------------

Do we think UCS replaces substantially all LCS use cases, or just many of them?

> Dynamically adjust LCS level sizes

> LCS works best when the top level is full.  Then 90% of reads can be served 
> from a single sstable.  By contrast if the top level is only 10% full then 
> 90% of reads will be served from two.  This results in worse performance as 
> well as confused users.
> To address this, we can adjust the ideal top level size to how much data is 
> actually in it (and set each corresponding lower level to 1/10 of the next 
> one above).
