Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-9946: ------------------------------------------- Things I don't know: # What is the Windows equivalent? /cc [~JoshuaMcKenzie] # Should we pick a one-size-fits-all priority, or allow the user to override class/priority? /cc [~a...@ooyala.com] > use ioprio_set instead of throttling by default > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-9946 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9946 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Ariel Weisberg > Fix For: 3.x > > > Compaction throttling works as designed, but it has two drawbacks: > * it requires manual tuning to choose the "right" value for a given machine > * it does not allow compaction to "burst" above its limit if there is > additional i/o capacity available while there are less application requests > to serve > Using ioprio_set instead solves both of these problems. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
