Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5306:
-------------------------------------------

I'd be happy with just iowait, to be honest, which can be easily read from 
/proc.  That would be a big improvement on the existing heuristic; Windows can 
fall back to compaction throughput.

The current heuristic of "percentage of my space that I'm currently compacting" 
is only really useful for distinguishing "compacting" from "not compacting;" 
whether it will give a useful comparison between two different nodes otherwise 
is essentially random.

> Currently Dsnitch reports the Severity by calculating the amount of data 
> compacting relative to load of the node. 
> It will be nice to report Severity as a factor of load average, N/W 
> Throughput and IO Wait instead.
> http://www.hyperic.com/products/sigar seem to have it (But personally i have 
> not used it).
