sankalp kohli commented on CASSANDRA-5263:
------------------------------------------
Right. What I was proposing what that if we take the cardinality of the whole
sstable, we will get a sense of overlapping. You are right, it won't be
accurate.
So not sure whether it is a good idea to use it.
> Increase merkle tree depth as needed

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5263
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Reporter: Ahmed Bashir

> Fix For: 2.1.1

>
> Currently, the maximum depth allowed for Merkle trees is hardcoded as 15.
> This value should be configurable, just like phi_convict_treshold and other
> properties.
> Given a cluster with nodes responsible for a large number of row keys, Merkle
> tree comparisons can result in a large amount of unnecessary row keys being
> streamed.
> Empirical testing indicates that reasonable changes to this depth (18, 20,
> etc) don't affect the Merkle tree generation and differencing timings all
> that much, and they can significantly reduce the amount of data being
> streamed during repair.
