Hello, We currently are at C* 1.2 and are using the SnappyCompressor for all our CFs. Total data size is at 24 TB, and its a 12 node cluster. Avg node size is 2 TB.
We are adding nodes currently and it seems like compression is falling behind. I judge that by the fact that the new node which has a 4.5T disk fills up to 100% while its bootstrapping. Can we avoid this problem with the LZ4 compressor because of better compression or do we just need a bigger disk? The reason why we started with 4.5 TB was because we were assuming that while a new node is bootstrapping it may not need more than 2 times the avg data size. Is that a weak assumption? Ruchir.
