--------------------------------------------
For those who were asking about the performance impact of block size on
compression I wrote a microbenchmark.

To summarize, compression is 8.5% slower and decompression is 1% faster. This
is measuring the impact on compression/decompression not the huge impact that
would occur if we decompressed data we don't need less often.
I didn't test decompression of Snappy and LZ4 high, but I did test compression.
Snappy:
[java] CompactIntegerSequenceBench.benchCompressSnappy16k thrpt 2
196574766.116 ops/s
[java] CompactIntegerSequenceBench.benchCompressSnappy32k thrpt 2

194600497.613 ops/s
[java] CompactIntegerSequenceBench.benchCompressSnappy8k thrpt 2
186040175.059 ops/s
LZ4 high compressor:
[java] CompactIntegerSequenceBench.bench16k thrpt 2 20822947.578
ops/s
[java] CompactIntegerSequenceBench.bench32k thrpt 2 12037342.253

[java] CompactIntegerSequenceBench.bench64k thrpt 2 6782534.469
ops/s
[java] CompactIntegerSequenceBench.bench8k thrpt 2 32254619.594
ops/s
LZ4 high is the one instance where block size mattered a lot. It's a bit
suspicious really when you look at the ratio of performance to block size being
close to 1:1. I couldn't spot a bug in the benchmark though.
Compression ratios with LZ4 fast for the text of Alice in Wonderland was:
Chunk size 8192, ratio 0.709473
Chunk size 16384, ratio 0.667236
Chunk size 32768, ratio 0.634735
Chunk size 65536, ratio 0.607208
By way of comparison I also ran deflate with maximum compression:
Chunk size 8192, ratio 0.426434
Chunk size 16384, ratio 0.402423
Chunk size 32768, ratio 0.381627
Chunk size 65536, ratio 0.364865

> Having a too low chunk size may result in some wasted disk space. A too high
> chunk size may lead to massive overreads and may have a critical impact on
> overall system performance.
> In my case, the default chunk size lead to peak read IOs of up to 1GB/s and
> avg reads of 200MB/s. After lowering chunksize (of course aligned with read
> ahead), the avg read IO went below 20 MB/s, rather 10-15MB/s.
> The risk of (physical) overreads is increasing with lower (page cache size) /
> (total data size) ratio.
> High chunk sizes are mostly appropriate for bigger payloads pre request but
> if the model consists rather of small rows or small resultsets, the read
> overhead with 64kb chunk size is insanely high. This applies for example for
> (small) skinny rows.

> To give you some insights what a difference it can make (460GB data, 128GB
> RAM):
> - Latency of a quite large CF: https://cl.ly/1r3e0W0S393L
> - Disk throughput: https://cl.ly/2a0Z250S1M3c
> - This shows, that the request distribution remained the same, so no "dynamic
> snitch magic": https://cl.ly/3E0t1T1z2c0J
