You can change YAML setting of memtable_cleanup_threshold to 0.7 (from the default of 0.3). This will push SSTables to disk less often and will reduce the compaction time.
While this won’t change the streaming time, it will reduce the overall time for your node to be healthy.

This will allow compactions to continue but requires a repair to fix the stale data later.

You increase stream throughput from default 200 to a heifer value if your network can handle it.

Could you please advise how to tune this ? Many Thanks, Peng Xiao
