Dave Brosius commented on CASSANDRA-5862:
-----------------------------------------
I notice that aside from the switch to adler, the checksumming was switched
from the uncompressed buffer to the compressed buffer. Was this intended? If so
CompressedSequentialWriter.resetAndTruncate can remove the code that
uncompresses the buffer, as it's not used.
> Switch to adler checksum for sstables

> Adler is significantly faster than CRC32:

> (Adler is weaker for short inputs, so we should leave the commitlog alone, as
> it checksums each mutation individually.)
