Don't be a troll.  If you have constructive feedback, make it here or in another ticket.  Multiple Cassandra developers have read the leveldb source; there is no magic there.

> What we're not sure about is the effect on compaction efficiency --
> larger files mean that each level contains more data, so reads will
> have to touch less sstables, but we're also compacting less unchanged
> data when we merge forward.
> So the question is, how big can we make the sstables to get the benefits of the
> first effect, before the second effect starts to dominate?
