HATS is a scheduler implemented atop Cassandra that co-schedules reads and compactions, using coarse-grained replica selection (epochal 60s global balancing via augmented gossip and a small Raft-backed scheduler), fine-grained per-request rerouting (dynamic snitch score) and adaptive rate control for compaction (compaction rate proportional to read load after replica decoupling). A linear-time assignment algorithm runs once per epoch; evaluated with YCSB and modeled Facebook traces, HATS cuts 99th-percentile latency by ~58–60% and raises throughput.
