chunk lenght

2013-03-09 Thread Kanwar Sangha
Hi - Can someone help explain this parameter ? chunk_length_kb If we increase it from default 64k to 128k does it mean that the sstable will be compressed in blocks of 128k ? Does that mean if we are reading and writing data of 128k , it will give a better read/write performance ? Thanks, Kanw
