Apache Cassandra is an open source NoSQL distributed database which delivers high availability and scalability without compromising performance. If Cassandra has been configured to use any of the compression methods supported by AOCL-Compression, it can be re-directed to load AOCL-Compression library at runtime as follows:
# Edit config file /etc/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml and set desired compression method among: lz4, snappy, zlib
# Start Cassandra as a stand-alone process while loading AOCL-Compression library
LD_PRELOAD="path/to/aocl_compression.so" cassandra -f
