This can happen as part of node bootstrap,repair or rebuild node. ________________________________ From: Sotirios Delimanolis <sotodel...@yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 7, 2016 4:35:45 PM To: User Subject: Huge files in level 1 and level 0 of LeveledCompactionStrategy
I have a couple of SSTables that are humongous -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 138933736915 Dec 1 03:41 lb-29677471-big-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 78444316655 Dec 1 03:58 lb-29677495-big-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 212429252597 Dec 1 08:20 lb-29678145-big-Data.db sstablemetadata reports that these are all in SSTable Level 0. This table is running with compaction = {'sstable_size_in_mb': '200', 'tombstone_threshold': '0.25', 'tombstone_compaction_interval': '300', 'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy'} How could this happen?
