Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-1470:
--------------------------------------------
I have tried to play with buffer size from 4Kb to 4Mb that does not give any
improvement. Using separate thread for write in this point won't give any thing
because read mutex lock is set on the file during write to avoid inconsistency.
Please someone who have read linux kernel source correct me if I'm wrong about
this...
> use direct io for compaction

> When compaction scans through a group of sstables, it forces the data in the
> os buffer cache being used for hot reads, which can have a dramatic negative
> effect on performance.
