[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7443) SSTable Pluggability v2

Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-7443:
--------------------------------------------

I know its off topic anyway but...

I would suggest that Sized and LevelDB compose what essentially are two pluggable storage engines, also both can be compressed,  so maybe that is 2.5. 

There are other ticktes around minimizing re-compaction for write once TTL only data. I do agree that having N storage engines would be a bad. But I do not feel like sized and leveled are the best fit for a variety of use cases. 

I have a column-family-per-month design to get around re compaction issues in a time series application. Many suggest that cassandra is the IDEAL timeseries database, but its current compaction system for level/sized does not seem like the perfect fit to me.

> As part of a wider effort to improve the performance of our storage engine we will need to support basic pluggability of the SSTable reader/writer. We primarily need this to support the current SSTable format and new SSTable format in the same version.  This will also let us encapsulate the changes in a single layer vs forcing the whole engine to change at once.
> We previously discussed how to accomplish this in CASSANDRA-3067
