question about internode_compression

When internode_compression is enabled, will the compression algorithm used
be the same as whatever I am using for sstable_compression?

It uses Snappy Compression with the default block size. 

There may be a case for allowing configuration, for example so the LZ4Compressor can be used. Feel free to raise a ticket at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA
