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

> (Adler is weaker for short inputs, so we should leave the commitlog alone, as
> it checksums each mutation individually.)
