[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-11408) simple compaction defaults for common scenarios

["Jonathan Shook (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11408?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jonathan Shook updated CASSANDRA-11408:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
As compaction strategies get more flexible over time, some users might prefer to have a simple named profile for their settings.

{code:title=example, syntax variant|borderStyle=solid}
alter table foo.bar with compaction = 'timeseries-hourly-for-a-week';
{code}

{code:title=example, syntax variant |borderStyle=solid}
alter table foo.bar with compaction = { 'profile' : 'key-value-balanced-ops' };
{code}

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.



  was:
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.
