Lior Golan commented on CASSANDRA-5862:
---------------------------------------
What's the typical size of a compressed chunk (after compression)? If it's
above a few 100 bytes then Adler should be ok. In addition, compressed data has
higher entropy which improves the quality of the adler32 checksum
> Switch to adler checksum for sstables

> it checksums each mutation individually.)
