Description

Currently, for every read, the CRAR reads each compressed chunk into a byte[], sends it to ICompressor, gets back another byte[] and verifies a checksum.

This process is where the majority of time is spent in a read request.

Before compression, we would have zero-copy of data and could respond directly from the page-cache.

It would be useful to have some kind of Chunk cache that could speed up this process for hot data, possibly off heap.

• breaks: CASSANDRA-11960 Hints are not seekable
• incorporates: CASSANDRA-11452 Cache implementation using LIRS eviction for in-process page cache
• is depended upon by: CASSANDRA-11681 Pick a better file_cache_size_in_mb default
• relates to: CASSANDRA-8271 Remove SSTableDeletingTask
• supercedes: CASSANDRA-6726 Recycle CompressedRandomAccessReader/RandomAccessReader buffers independently of their owners, and move them off-heap when possible
