[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-6109) Consider coldness in STCS compaction

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13784245#comment-13784245 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess whether hotness or overlap is a more important criterion depends on your goal:
# prioritizing by hotness helps speed reads up more, especially when you have a lot of cold data sitting around
# prioritizing by overlap ratio reduces disk space and helps throw away obsolete cells faster

I was hoping to tackle #1 here, but maybe that needs a separate strategy a la CASSANDRA-5561.

For #2, CASSANDRA-5906 adds a HyperLogLog component that does a fantastic job of letting us estimate overlap ratios.

I was hoping to tackle #1 here, but maybe that needs a separate strategy a la CASSANDRA-5560.

For #2, CASSANDRA-5906 adds a HyperLogLog component that does a fantastic job of letting us estimate overlap ratios.

> I see two options:
> # Don't compact cold sstables at all
> # Compact cold sstables only if there is nothing more important to compact
> The latter is better if you have cold data that may become hot again...  but it's confusing if you have a workload such that you can't keep up with *all* compaction, but you can keep up with hot sstable.  (Compaction backlog stat becomes useless since we fall increasingly behind.)
