Vladimir Rodionov commented on HBASE-11331:
-------------------------------------------
In my own tests I have seen performance drop from ~ 100K to 75K ops with
compression on. This is with a custom LZ4 codec and YMMV. I think 20-25%
penalty is not that big to justify uncompressed mode of operation. In many
cases, having more data in a cache is much more important than peak
performance.

> Maintaining data in its compressed form in the block cache will greatly
> increase our effective blockcache size and should show a meaning improvement
> in cache hit rates in well designed applications. The idea here is to lazily
> decompress/decrypt blocks when they're consumed, rather than as soon as
> they're pulled off of disk.
> This is related to but less invasive than HBASE-8894.
