Jason Brown commented on CASSANDRA-6809:
----------------------------------------
bq. we may as well allocate on the sync thread(s) ...
Wait, so I'm confused a bit now. Are you still proposing we go with your
initial proposal as stated in the first comment of this ticket, with
micro-segments and sync threads?

> It seems an unnecessary oversight that we don't compress the commit log.
> Doing so should improve throughput, but some care will need to be taken to
> ensure we use as much of a segment as possible. I propose decoupling the
> writing of the records from the segments. Basically write into a (queue of)
> DirectByteBuffer, and have the sync thread compress, say, ~64K chunks every X
> MB written to the CL (where X is ordinarily CLS size), and then pack as many
> of the compressed chunks into a CLS as possible.
