Lior Golan commented on CASSANDRA-5862: --------------------------------------- What's the typical size of a compressed chunk (after compression)? If it's above a few 100 bytes then Adler should be ok. In addition, compressed data has higher entropy which improves the quality of the adler32 checksum > 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.
