Benedict resolved CASSANDRA-7549. --------------------------------- Resolution: Invalid What you're asking for is not generally optimal behaviour, so is not something we would consider defaulting to in Cassandra. For a dataset larger than memory reading more data than you need to answer the query is going to severely hurt performance. What you probably want to do is to set populate_io_cache_on_flush to true, so that the data is left in memory after a flush (by default in 2.0 it is evicted to ensure other live data is not affected, although in 2.1 this is no longer the case) > Heavy Disk Read I/O > ------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7549 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7549 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: Cassandra 2.0.6 > Reporter: Hanson > > We observed heavy disk Read I/O, sometimes almost ~100% disk I/O %util. The > block size for Disk Read seems too small per “iostat”: > - DB Query: ~40KB per read > - SSTables Compaction : ~120KB per read > Could it use larger block size for Disk Read?
