Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-4937:
--------------------------------------------
bq. Shouldn't we just take out cache-skipping on [C]RAR entirely then?
Sorry, we probably had some communication issues, that is exactly what I
propose and what attached patch does :) I can make separate one that just
removes page skiping from read path and does it only when SSTable life ends.
bq. Why does this work better than the old mincore approach we tried?
Basically because it doesn't try to be smart about anything, it just preheats
first page of each row listed in that cache which gives a room for adoptive
readahead.

> After good amount of testing on one of the clusters it was found that in
> order to improve read latency we need to minimize allocation rate that
> compression involves, that minimizes GC (as well as heap usage) and
> substantially decreases latency on read heavy workloads.
> I have also discovered that RAR skip cache harms performance in situation
> when reads are done in parallel with compaction working with relatively big
> SSTable files (few GB and more). The attached patch removes possibility to
> skip cache from compressed files (I can also add changes to RAR to remove
> skip cache functionality as a separate patch).
