Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1902:
-------------------------------------------
... actually the right limit is system memory, since we don't care how much is
UNcached.
I'm estimating an upper bound of about 3GB -- say 128GB for a ludicrously large
cache = 32M entries, times 96B for each Pair.
On the one hand if you have that much memory you can afford to use an extra 3GB
of heap during compaction, but memory pressure that occurs only infrequently
can be an unpleasant surprise as we saw for CASSANDRA-2175.
If there's a sane way to do this w/o materializing the entire list let's do
that.

> Post CASSANDRA-1470 there is an opportunity to migrate cached pages from a
> pre-compacted CF during the compaction process.
> First, add a method to MmappedSegmentFile: long[] pagesInPageCache() that
> uses the posix mincore() function to detect the offsets of pages for this
> file currently in page cache.
> Then add getActiveKeys() which uses underlying pagesInPageCache() to get the
> keys actually in the page cache.
> use getActiveKeys() to detect which SSTables being compacted are in the os
> cache and make sure the subsequent pages in the new compacted SSTable are
> kept in the page cache for these keys. This will minimize the impact of
> compacting a "hot" SSTable.
> A simpler yet similar approach is described here:
