Edward Capriolo updated CASSANDRA-1181:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: CompactionManager.java

How about using some information from tpstats to make this adaptive. See sample code?

> I suggested this in a ML thread but it seems that nobody actually tried it.  I think it's worth following up on:
> You could try setting the compaction thread to a lower priority.  You could add a thread priority to NamedThreadPool, and pass that up from CompactionExecutor constructor.  According to http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/threads/priority_what.shtml you have to run as root and add a JVM option to get this to work.
> In particular, Brandon saw stress.py read latencies spike to 100ms during [anti]compaction on a 2 core machine.  I'd like to see if this can mitigate that.
