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

             Summary: simple compaction defaults for common scenarios
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11408
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11408
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Jonathan Shook


As compaction strategies get more flexible over time, some users might prefer to have a simple named profile for their settings.

For example,
alter table foo.bar with compaction = 'timeseries-hourly-for-a-week';
or, with slightly different syntax:
alter table foo.bar with compaction = { 'profile' : 'key-value-balanced-ops' };

These would simply be a map into sets of well-tested and documented defaults across any of the core compaction strategies.

This would simplify setting up compaction for well-understood workloads, but still allow for customization where desired.
