[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-12907) Different data directories for
SSDs and HDDs at configuration level
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12907?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16145285#comment-16145285 ]
Hannu Kröger commented on CASSANDRA-12907:
------------------------------------------
One idea would be also to extract the file placing logic to a different extensible class which could be then replaced by configurable plugin like "SSDMetadataFilePlacingStrategy" with parameter "ssd_directory_locations". Then it would be possible to implement both: one strategy to store only metadata and indexes on ssds and another to store certain tables fully in different location".
When opening files, all locations probably should be checked for easy migration from one approach to another.

> Currently, users can speed up some CFs by symlinking its data directory to fast media such as SSDs. In my opinion, instead, configuration file should allow two different sets of directory: one dedicated to spindles, one dedicated to SSDs.
> This would allow a "once and for all mixed SSD & HDD configuration", instead of continuously symlinking the "right" directory each time a CF is created (due to the name mangling of the CF directories).
> And this in turn would allow a priori knowledge on disk structures, and would allow to place indexes of all sort (lookup, partition, etc... everything that is needed to "just" locate data) on fast SSDs, speeding up ALL the CFs instead of only one, while the HDDs could be used just for data retrieval and sequential reads.
