@Jeff, why does compaction clear them and why does Cassandra keep a handle to them? Shouldn't they be ignored entirely? Is there an error log I can enable to detect them? @kurt, there are no such logs for any of these tables. We have a custom log in our build of Cassandra that does shows that compactions are happening for that table but only ever include the files from July.

Seeing as there aren't even 100 SSTables in L2, LCS should be gradually trying to compact L3 with L2. You could search the logs for "Adding high-level (L3)" to check if this is happening.
