Sam Lightfoot commented on CASSANDRA-21134:
-------------------------------------------
I'm suspecting it's the buffered reads of the Index files (3GB across the 2 x
SSTables 64GB data files), but will do some testing to prove this. These may
also be a candidate for Direct I/O. I cannot think of a reason we'd want them
around.

> 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 /
> backgroud_write_disk_access_mode
> * Support for the compressed path would be most beneficial
