Hi,
I am setting up new cluster for cassandra 1.2.5, and first time using
cassandra compression.
I read about the compressors, and it gathered Snappy Compressor gives
better compression but is sslightly slower than LZ4 compressor. Just wanted
to know your experience and/or opinions as to *Snappy vs LZ4 , which
compressor is better in case of huge data, less writes but lots of reads.*


Thanks.
-Rashmi
