----------------------------------------------
bq. If CASSANDRA-6696 is being merged in & on by default we can close this.
And now it is, yay.
> JBOD Aware Size Tiered Compaction Strategy

> I'd like to propose a new compaction strategy targeting JBOD configurations.
> I believe this strategy would be most useful to machines with 4+ spinning
> disks but would also see some benefit on SSDs.
> There are a several goals with this strategy:
> 1. Minimize disk seeks during the compaction process
> 2. Maximize disk throughput when multiple disks are present
> 3. Better data distribution across disks. Data should automatically be
> balanced (applies when adding a new, empty disk)
> When a compaction is to occur, the algorithm first selects a disk to be the
> receiver. This disk should be the one with the most free space. The disks
> with the least free space should then be chosen as the origin disks.
> SStables are selected from the origin disks, and compacted to the receiver.
> This should both minimize seeks as well as auto balance data across disks.
> I'm not sure if this would apply to leveled compaction, but it may apply to
> date tiered.
