Lior Golan commented on CASSANDRA-5862:
---------------------------------------

Are you computing the checksum on the data before or after compression? If you are computing the checksum of the uncompressed data, then it might be useful to switch to checksum the compressed data (less data to checksum)

> Adler is significantly faster than CRC32: http://java-performance.info/java-crc32-and-adler32/
> (Adler is weaker for short inputs, so we should leave the commitlog alone, as it checksums each mutation individually.)
