     - read and write statistics are reported as lifetime totals,
       instead of averages over the last minute.
+    - cache hit rate statistics are now available from JMX under

     - compaction JMX metrics are moved to
       org.apache.cassandra.db.CompactionManager.  PendingTasks is now
       a much better estimate of compactions remaining, and the
       progress of the current compaction has been added.
