-------------------------------------------
Merging with trunk and resuming work.
> Use direct IO for compaction reads
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-19987
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19987
> Project: Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Local/Compaction
> Reporter: Jon Haddad
> Assignee: Sam Lightfoot
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.x
>
> Time Spent: 2h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> If we use direct io to read SSTables during compaction, we can avoid
> polluting the page cache with data we're about to delete. As another side
> effect, we also evict pages to make room for whatever we're putting in. This
> unnecessary churn leads to higher CPU overhead and can cause dips in client
> read latency, as we're going to be evicting pages that could be used to serve
> those reads.
> This is most notable with STCS as the SSTables get larger, potentially
> evicting the entire hot dataset out of cache, but is affected by every
> compaction strategy.
> This is a follow up to be done after CASSANDRA-15452 since we will have an
> internal buffer.
