Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5862: ------------------------------------------- bq. we do checksum the uncompressed data, but since adler32 is bad with small values we should prob keep it as is Even with 10x compression (2x as high as I've actually seen) that's still thousands of bytes to work with. I think we'd be okay. > Switch to adler checksum for sstables > ------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-5862 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5862 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: T Jake Luciani > Fix For: 2.0.1 > > > Adler is significantly faster than CRC32: > http://java-performance.info/java-crc32-and-adler32/ > (Adler is weaker for short inputs, so we should leave the commitlog alone, as > it checksums each mutation individually.) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
