Actually, we've had bugs related to the handling of the chunk size in early 1.0 releases and if I remember correctly that was fully fixed only in 1.0.5. So it is possible that your 1.0.3 sstables are cmpressed but with a ridiculously low chunk size (like 64 bytes instead of 64K), which would amount to no compression. In that case then yes it is a bug, but one that has been fixed by upgrading to 1.1. -- Sylvain > "create column family test > with column_type = 'Standard' > and comparator = 'BytesType' > and default_validation_class = 'UTF8Type' > and key_validation_class = 'BytesType' > and compaction_strategy = > 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.SizeTieredCompactionStrategy' > and compression_options = {'sstable_compression' : > 'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.SnappyCompressor'};" > > Would this cause any issues? > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/BulkLoading-SSTables-and-compression-tp7580849p7580933.html > Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at > Nabble.com.
