Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-8888:
-------------------------------------------
It seems like a lot people have high anxiety about cross-dc bandwidth,
justified or not. What about setting it to cross-dc compression only by
default?
> Disable internode compression by default

> Internode compression increases GC load, and can cause high CPU utilization
> for high throughput use cases. Very rarely are customers restricted by
> intra-DC or cross-DC network bandwidth. I'de rather we optimize for the 75%
> of cases where internode compression isn't needed and then selectively enable
> it for customers where it would provide a benefit. Currently I'm advising all
> field consultants disable compression by default.
