queries.

> After seeing the I/O issues in CASSANDRA-1470, I've been doing some more
> thinking on this subject that I wanted to lay out.
> I propose we redo the concept of how compaction works in Cassandra. At the
> moment, compaction is kicked off based on a write access pattern, not read
> access pattern. In most cases, you want the opposite. You want to be able to
> track how well each SSTable is performing in the system. If we were to keep
> statistics in-memory of each SSTable, prioritize them based on most accessed,
> and bloom filter hit/miss ratios, we could intelligently group sstables that
> are being read most often and schedule them for compaction. We could also
> schedule lower priority maintenance on SSTable's not often accessed.
> I also propose we limit the size of each SSTable to a fix sized, that gives
> us the ability to better utilize our bloom filters in a predictable manner.
> At the moment after a certain size, the bloom filters become less reliable.
> This would also allow us to group data most accessed. Currently the size of
> an SSTable can grow to a point where large portions of the data might not
> actually be accessed as often.
