Hi Users, I have a single server code deployed with multiple environments (staging, dev etc) but they all use a single Cassandra cluster but keyspaces are prefixed with the environment name, so each server has its own keyspace to store data. I am using Cassandra 2.1.0 and using it to store timeseries data.
I see thousands of SSTables in only one node for one environment and that node is running out of memory because of this (I am guessing thats the cause because I see lots of logs trying to compact that data). All the other nodes which use other environments too are just works fine but this not with one environment keeps having this issue. Given that explanation I have two main questions. Anyone of you had the similar issue ? If so how did you solve it. If I want to clean only this keyspace from the full cluster what are the steps I should be doing ? Do you think if I shut down the cluster and delete the folder for the keyspace in all the nodes and restart the cluster would do the job ? Are there any other steps I need to follow ? (Reason I ask is if I just truncate from cql still data will be there and there's seriously something wrong in that table and I'm not sure it will ever get cleaned up) Thanks Lahiru
