I'd like to work on this, as it seems like it should be possible to make a 
BulkOutputFormat that writes at most one sstable from each reducer to each 
host, if you sort the data by token before it arrives at the reducer. 
Essentially, the OutputFormat would assert that it was receiving the data in 
sorted order, and write it straight to the socket as an sstable data file: this 
has been the 'lifelong dream' of MapReduce integration.

 Key: CASSANDRA-3943
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3943
 Project: Cassandra
  Issue Type: Wish
  Components: Hadoop, Tools
Affects Versions: 0.8.2, 1.1.0
Reporter: Samarth Gahire
Priority: Minor
  Labels: bulkloader, hadoop, ponies, sstableloader, streaming, 
 tools
   Original Estimate: 168h
  Remaining Estimate: 168h

 When we create sstables using SimpleUnsortedWriter or BulkOutputFormat,the 
 size of sstables created is around the buffer size provided.
 But After loading , sstables created in the cluster nodes are of size around
 {code}( (sstable_size_before_loading) * replication_factor ) / 
 No_Of_Nodes_In_Cluster{code}
 As the no of nodes in cluster goes increasing, size of each sstable loaded to 
 cassandra node decreases.Such small size sstables take too much time to 
 compact (minor compaction) as compare to relatively large size sstables.
 One solution that we have tried is to increase the buffer size while 
 generating sstables.But as we increase the buffer size ,time taken to 
 generate sstables increases.Is there any solution to this in existing 
 versions or are you fixing this in future version?

We are working on generating single-range-per-reducer sstables so that there is 
no overlap, and each reducer can send to a single node (or at least one node 
per sstable generated). It doesn't address local storage, but does address this.

It also has the effect that if we combine it with log(n) filtering of sstables 
in the read path based on ranges, it would be feasable to bulk import and have 
thousands of sstables and completely disable compaction.

It also facilitates replacing a data set one sstable at a time (if one 
generates sstables that correspond exactly in ranges), allowing completely 
replacement of a dataset without a temporary disk space spike.

Without any of these fixes, extra disk space needed is very significant - both 
regular compaction overhead in addition to loading two data sets onto the node.

bq. As the no of nodes in cluster goes increasing, size of each sstable loaded 
to cassandra node decreases

This is unavoidable, since the sstable now contains more ranges that belong to 
specific replica ranges in the ring.

bq. Such small size sstables take too much time to compact (minor compaction)

Assuming SizeTieredStrategy, increasing the maximum threshold may help this to 
some degree, so that the nodes compact more tiny sstables at a time.

bq. Is there any solution to this in existing versions or are you fixing this 
in future version?

I'm open to ideas, but have no plans as there is no clear solution.
