Hiram Chirino commented on CASSANDRA-1470:
------------------------------------------

BTW.. if you guys want to avoid the JNA dependency so you can distribute native 
libraries out of the box with Cassandra you might want to consider using 
[HawtJNI|http://hawtjni.fusesource.org/documentation/index.html].

You still use a coding style similar to JNA.  You basically just define the 
Java interface and add annotations.  Instead of using a FFI like JNA, HawtJNI 
code generates an actual JNI library which your native methods bind so you get 
slightly better performance.

Here's an example of a project using it: 
[example|https://github.com/chirino/jansi-native]

If you guys are interested, let me know and I can help port you from JNA to 
HawtJNI

> 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.
