       Leveled compaction means you only need to keep a few MB of space free for 
       compaction instead of (in the worst case) 50%.

+    - Hinted Handoff has two major improvements:
+        - Hint replay is much more efficient thanks to a change in the data model
+        - Hints are created for all replicas that do not ack a write.  (Formerly,
+          only replicas known to be down when the write started were hinted.)
+      This means that running with read repair completely off is much more
+      viable than before.
