Seems like your index builds are blocking other compactions from taking place. Seems that maybe postflush is backed up because it's blocked on writes generated from the rebuild? Maybe, anyway. > 3.I'm wondering if the block only blocks the specified table which is > creating secondary index? > If all your flush writers/post flushers are blocked I assume no other flushes will be able to take place, regardless of table. Seems like CASSANDRA-12796 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12796> is related but not sure why it didn't get fixed in 2.1.
