Chris Burroughs commented on CASSANDRA-5863:
--------------------------------------------
FWIW for design comparison, the ZFS L2ARC compression is enabled whenever
compression is enabled for the dataset on disk, the rational being along the
lines of "LZ4 is wicked fast so why not?".

> Create a Decompressed Chunk [block] Cache
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-5863
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5863
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: T Jake Luciani
> Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich
> Labels: performance
> Fix For: 2.1 beta2
>
>
> Currently, for every read, the CRAR reads each compressed chunk into a
> byte[], sends it to ICompressor, gets back another byte[] and verifies a
> checksum.
> This process is where the majority of time is spent in a read request.
> Before compression, we would have zero-copy of data and could respond
> directly from the page-cache.
> It would be useful to have some kind of Chunk cache that could speed up this
> process for hot data. Initially this could be a off heap cache but it would
> be great to put these decompressed chunks onto a SSD so the hot data lives on
> a fast disk similar to https://github.com/facebook/flashcache.
