["Marcus Eriksson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5887?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Marcus Eriksson updated CASSANDRA-5887:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-compress-internode-traffic-with-lz4-v1.patch

uses lz4 to compress internode traffic

patch is large since it upgrades the lz4 lib to the latest version. The one shipped only did "async flush" - meaning it didnt actually flush all the data.

> Currently when internode compression is turned on it uses snappy.SnappyOutputStream.  If Snappy is not available this will fail.  lz4 compression is vetted for use in Cassandra.  Would it make sense to use lz4 for internode compression ?  Would a new config setting internode_compressor be needed for compatibility ?
