Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-6890:
-------------------------------------
FTR, I think CASSANDRA-5863 may make a lot of these discussions moot from a
performance perspective - the cost of one copy into a buffer is negligible when
reading from actual disk, but reading in-memory data (what we're presumably
benchmarking here) from an in-process cache will be faster than either.

> Since we actively unmap unreferenced SSTR's and also copy data out of those
> readers on the read path, the current memory mapped i/o is a lot of
> complexity for very little payoff. Clean out the mmapp'ed i/o on the read
> path.
