Configuring node-to-node compression
This content applies only to On-premises and Client-managed cloud environments
Specify how you want to compress the contents of Cassandra SSTables. By using compression, you reduce the size of the data written to disk, and increase read and write throughput.
Configure node-to-node compression by editing the
corresponding
prconfig.xml settings.For more information about
specifying settings through the prconfig.xml file, see Changing node settings by modifying the prconfig.xml file.
- If you want to compress all node-to-node compression (both inter-data center
and intra-data center), set the value of the
dnode/yaml/internode_compression property to
ALL.
- If you want to compress only inter-data center traffic, set the value of the dnode/yaml/internode_compression property to DC.
- If you do not want to use node-to-node compression, set the value of the dnode/yaml/internode_compression property to NONE.
