Joey Lynch commented on CASSANDRA-15379:
----------------------------------------

Final commit with some quick fixes to the docs to make them a little clearer, 
test runs linked below.

All unit tests and in-jvm dtests passed, a few dtest flakes on java8 and java11 
that I'm pretty sure are unrelated (a transient replication dtest and two 
nodetool dtests).
* test_refresh_size_estimates_clears_invalid_entries - 
nodetool_test.TestNodetool
* test_optimized_primary_range_repair - 
transient_replication_test.TestTransientReplication
* test_repaired_tracking_with_mismatching_replicas - 
repair_tests.incremental_repair_test.TestIncRepair

All appear to be unrelated failures.

> [~josnyder] and I have been testing out CASSANDRA-14482 (Zstd compression) on 
> some of our most dense clusters and have been observing close to 50% 
> reduction in footprint with Zstd on some of our workloads! Unfortunately 
> though we have been running into an issue where the flush might take so long 
> (Zstd is slower to compress than LZ4) that we can actually block the next 
> flush and cause instability.
> Internally we are working around this with a very simple patch which flushes 
> SSTables as the default compression strategy (LZ4) regardless of the table 
> params. This is a simple solution but I think the ideal solution though might 
> be for the flush compression strategy to be configurable separately from the 
> table compression strategy (while defaulting to the same thing). Instead of 
> adding yet another compression option to the yaml (like hints and commitlog) 
> I was thinking of just adding it to the table parameters and then adding a 
> {{default_table_parameters}} yaml option like:
> {noformat}
> # Default table properties to apply on freshly created tables. The currently 
> supported defaults are:
> # * compression       : How are SSTables compressed in general (flush, 
> compaction, etc ...)
> # * flush_compression : How are SSTables compressed as they flush
> # supported
> default_table_parameters:
>   compression:
>     class_name: 'LZ4Compressor'
>     parameters:
>       chunk_length_in_kb: 16
>   flush_compression:
>     class_name: 'LZ4Compressor'
>     parameters:
>       chunk_length_in_kb: 4
> {noformat}
> This would have the nice effect as well of giving our configuration a path 
> forward to providing user specified defaults for table creation (so e.g. if a 
> particular user wanted to use a different default chunk_length_in_kb they can 
> do that).
> So the proposed (~mandatory) scope is:
> * Flush with a faster compression strategy
> I'd like to implement the following at the same time:
> * Per table flush compression configuration
> * Ability to default the table flush and compaction compression in the yaml.
