Mck SembWever commented on CASSANDRA-3427: ------------------------------------------ Won't the cache here leak? Many (most?) sstables are transient (gone after the next minor compaction), but this cache will just grow... > CompressionMetadata is not shared across threads, we create a new one for > each read > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3427 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3427 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Labels: compression > Fix For: 1.0.2 > > Attachments: 3427.patch > > > The CompressionMetada holds the compressed block offsets in memory. Without > being absolutely huge, this is still of non-negligible size as soon as you > have a bit of data in the DB. Reallocating this for each read is a very bad > idea. > Note that this only affect range queries, since "normal" queries uses > CompressedSegmentedFile that does reuse a unique CompressionMetadata instance. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
