[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-5863) Create a Decompressed Chunk Cache

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5863?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13770268#comment-13770268 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5863:
-------------------------------------------

As suggested by CASSANDRA-6045, I'd rather start with an off-heap cache and push 3-tier strategies with flash out to another ticket.

> Currently, for every read, the CRAR reads each compressed chunk into a byte[], sends it to ICompressor, gets back another byte[] and verifies a checksum.  
> This process is where the majority of time is spent in a read request.  
> Before compression, we would have zero-copy of data and could respond directly from the page-cache.
> It would be useful to have some kind of Chunk cache that could speed up this process for hot data. Initially this could be a off heap cache but it would be great to put these decompressed chunks onto a SSD so the hot data lives on a fast disk similar to https://github.com/facebook/flashcache.
