Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-9830:
----------------------------------------
Thanks for spotting this, it seems I overlooked this case. Even though there is
an anticompaction test, it moves sstables to the same level in the repaired set
so it does not check this case.
I will update it to cover this case. The basic idea is to regenerate BF if
dropping to level 0 during anti-compaction with this setting enabled.
> Option to disable bloom filter in highest level of LCS sstables

> Key: CASSANDRA-9830
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9830
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Compaction
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Assignee: Paulo Motta
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: performance
> Fix For: 3.x

>
> We expect about 90% of data to be in the highest level of LCS in a fully
> populated series. (See also CASSANDRA-9829.)
> Thus if the user is primarily asking for data (partitions) that has actually
> been inserted, the bloom filter on the highest level only helps reject
> sstables about 10% of the time.
> We should add an option that suppresses bloom filter creation on top-level
> sstables. This will dramatically reduce memory usage for LCS and may even
> improve performance as we no longer check a low-value filter.
> (This is also an idea from RocksDB.)
