Hi, We recently switched from size tired compaction to Leveled compaction. We made this change because our rows are frequently updated. We also have a lot of data. With size-tiered compaction, we have about 5-10 sstables per CF. So with about 15 CF's we had about 100 sstables. With a sstable default sixe of 5mb, now after leveled compaction, we have about 130k sstables and growing as the writes increases. There are a lot of compaction jobs pending. If we increase the SStable size to 20mb, that will be about 30k sstables but it's still a lot.
Is this common? Any solution, hints on reducing the sstables are welcome. Thanks -Jay
