[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-15074) Allow table property defaults
(e.g. compaction, compression) to be specified for a cluster/keyspace
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15074?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16971715#comment-16971715 ]
Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-15074:
-----------------------------------------------
Sounds like a good idea to me. And not that hard to implement either. Would need to make some changes to params to only persist explicit values in the template tables, and would have to think about how we want to handle authz, but it's definitely both valuable and doable.

> During an IRC discussion in [cassandra-dev|https://wilderness.apache.org/channels/?f=cassandra-dev/2019-04-02#1554224083] it was proposed that we could have table property defaults stored on a Keyspace or globally within the cluster. For example, this would allow users to specify "All new tables on this cluster should default to LCS with SSTable size of 320MiB" or "all new tables in Keyspace XYZ should have Zstd commpression with a 8 KiB block size" or "default_time_to_live should default to 3 days" etc ... This way operators can choose the default that makes sense for their organization once (e.g. LCS if they are running on fast SSDs), rather than requiring developers creating the Keyspaces/Tables to make the decision on every creation (often without context of which choices are right).
> A few implementation options were discussed including:
> * A YAML option
> * Schema provided at the Keyspace level that would be inherited by any tables automatically
> * Schema provided at the Cluster level that would be inherited by any Keyspaces or Tables automatically
> In IRC it appears that rough consensus was found in having global -> keyspace -> table defaults which would be stored in schema (no YAML configuration since this isn't node level really, it's a cluster level config).
