Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-13241:
--------------------------------------------
I modified the sequence to use the summing approach and attached that version.
This version uses 26.6% of the space in exchange for on average having to sum
30 values in a tight loop. It's probably plenty fast compared to decompressing
16k. If we used this there would be no memory utilization impact to reducing
the block size to 16k.
If there is no consensus on changing the representation during the code freeze
then I will only change the default and create a follow up ticket to use one of
these approaches.
> Lower default chunk_length_in_kb from 64kb to 4kb

> Having a too low chunk size may result in some wasted disk space. A too high
> chunk size may lead to massive overreads and may have a critical impact on
> overall system performance.
> In my case, the default chunk size lead to peak read IOs of up to 1GB/s and
> avg reads of 200MB/s. After lowering chunksize (of course aligned with read
> ahead), the avg read IO went below 20 MB/s, rather 10-15MB/s.
> The risk of (physical) overreads is increasing with lower (page cache size) /
> (total data size) ratio.
> High chunk sizes are mostly appropriate for bigger payloads pre request but
> if the model consists rather of small rows or small resultsets, the read
> overhead with 64kb chunk size is insanely high. This applies for example for
> (small) skinny rows.

> To give you some insights what a difference it can make (460GB data, 128GB
> RAM):
> - Latency of a quite large CF: https://cl.ly/1r3e0W0S393L
> - Disk throughput: https://cl.ly/2a0Z250S1M3c
> - This shows, that the request distribution remained the same, so no "dynamic
> snitch magic": https://cl.ly/3E0t1T1z2c0J
