Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1651:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Regarding 2) I still think this should be tunable since if a workload has
column with very large data then they may want to increase the slab side to fit
this, otherwise they can't take advantage of this.
I think we should leave it out until/unless we actually find such a case. I
suspect that the byte[] allocation is not going to be the major source of
overhead for workloads like that, so YAGNI.

> Now that the code has switched to byte buffers internally, it should be
> possible to improve read performance by reducing the number of byte array
> allocations.
> This patch accomplishes this by and re-using sections of a larger byte array
> slab.
> I've benchmarked it locally and seen a slight improvement on reads, a larger
> scale benchmark should be performed.
> Also the size of a slab can be configured in cassandra.yaml
