The compaction algorithm today de-serializes the entire row in memory before writing out the compacted SSTable (see ColumnFamilyStore.doCompaction() and associated methods). > The requirement is to have a compaction method with a lower memory requirement so we can support rows larger than available main memory. To re-use the old FB example, if we stored a user's inbox in a row, we'd want the inbox to grow bigger than memory so long as it fit on disk. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
