Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5887:
-------------------------------------------
We could omit the option if we make LZ4 only a fallback if Snappy isn't
present, but it probably makes more sense to make LZ4 the new default for the
same reasons we switched to it for sstable compression, in which case we do
want an option so existing clusters aren't screwed as soon as a new node
restarts.

> add lz4 compression for internode compressio
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-5887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5887
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Andy Cobley
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently when internode compression is turned on it uses
> snappy.SnappyOutputStream. If Snappy is not available this will fail. lz4
> compression is vetted for use in Cassandra. Would it make sense to use lz4
> for internode compression ? Would a new config setting internode_compressor
> be needed for compatibility ?
