Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-5515:
----------------------------------------

bq. Maybe get fancy and do a reservoir-sampling histogram? Metrics makes that 
easy.

I could see that being useful during steady state, but there doesn't appear to 
be an easy way to serialize and rebuild those, which either means we would need 
a somewhat custom implementation, or we wouldn't have reliable information on 
startup.  (The custom implementation could support dump and restore, or perhaps 
just expose a notion of "confidence".)

Perhaps we should spend some time looking at the use cases before investing too 
much effort in this?

> Keeping a count of reads per-sstable would allow STCS to automatically ignore 
> cold data rather than recompacting it constantly with hot data, dramatically 
> reducing compaction load for typical time series applications and others with 
> time-correlated access patterns.  We would not need a separate age-tiered 
> compaction strategy.
> (This will really be useful in conjunction with CASSANDRA-5514.)
