[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-14902) Update the default for
compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14902?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17151696#comment-17151696 ]
Jeremy Hanna commented on CASSANDRA-14902:
------------------------------------------
I assumed that updating to 64 would be uncontroversial because that's what I know many change it to (including myself) as a first step/starting point. If we want to do more extensive comparison testing of different values, that's fine, but I think it would depend on the goal. IO is going to be different for every system and every workload/pattern is going to be somewhat unique. I thought 64 would at least make it not *required* to change it from the default as a first step.

> compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec has been at 16 since probably 0.6 or 0.7 back when a lot of people had to deploy on spinning disks. It seems like it would make sense to update the default to something more reasonable - assuming a reasonably decent SSD and competing IO. One idea that could be bikeshedded to death could be to just default it to 64 - simply to avoid people from having to always change that any time they download a new version as well as avoid problems with new users thinking that the defaults are sane.
