Benedict created CASSANDRA-6809: ----------------------------------- Summary: Compressed Commit Log Key: CASSANDRA-6809 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6809 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Benedict Assignee: Benedict Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.0
It seems an unnecessary oversight that we don't compress the commit log. Doing so should improve throughput, but some care will need to be taken to ensure we use as much of a segment as possible. I propose decoupling the writing of the records from the segments. Basically write into a (queue of) DirectByteBuffer, and have the sync thread compress, say, ~64K chunks every X MB written to the CL (where X is ordinarily CLS size), and then pack as many of the compressed chunks into a CLS as possible. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
