> Key: CASSANDRA-21134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-21134
> Project: Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Local/Compaction
> Reporter: Sam Lightfoot
> Assignee: Sam Lightfoot
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.x
>

>
> Follow-up from the implementation for compaction reads (CASSANDRA-19987)
> Notable points
> * Update the start-up check that impacts DIO writes
> ({_}checkKernelBug1057843{_})
> * RocksDB uses 1 MB flush buffer. This should be configurable and
> performance tested (256KB vs 1MB)
> * Introduce compaction_write_disk_access_mode
> * Support for the compressed path would be most beneficial
