Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4937:
-------------------------------------------
But doesn't your caching only last for a single request? What is the point
then if not opening the same file multiple times?
> CRAR improvements (object cache + CompressionMetadata chunk offset storage
> moved off-heap).

> Key: CASSANDRA-4937
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4937
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.1.6
> Reporter: Pavel Yaskevich
> Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1.7
>
> Attachments: CASSANDRA-4937.patch

>
> After good amount of testing on one of the clusters it was found that in
> order to improve read latency we need to minimize allocation rate that
> compression involves, that minimizes GC (as well as heap usage) and
> substantially decreases latency on read heavy workloads.
> I have also discovered that RAR skip cache harms performance in situation
> when reads are done in parallel with compaction working with relatively big
> SSTable files (few GB and more). The attached patch removes possibility to
> skip cache from compressed files (I can also add changes to RAR to remove
> skip cache functionality as a separate patch).
