sankalp kohli commented on CASSANDRA-9946: ------------------------------------------ "CFQ is not the most popular choice for databases. The standard recommendation is deadline or no-op." +1 We are working on moving away from CFQ to no-op. We have seen some improvements with it. > use ioprio_set on compaction threads by default instead of manually throttling > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > 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)
