Looking at this link: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-23%3A++Enhancement+for+Sparse+Data+Serialization
Do you have any plans to include benchmarks in your test plan? It would be useful to include disk usage / read performance / write performance comparisons with the new encodings, particularly for sparse collections where a subset of data is selected out of a collection. I do wonder whether this is CEP-worthy. The CEP says that the changes will not impact existing users, will be backwards compatible, and overall is an efficiency improvement. The CEP guidelines say a CEP is encouraged “for significant user-facing or changes that cut across multiple subsystems”. Any reason why a Jira isn’t sufficient?
