Dear group I am quite new to Akka persistence, and very new to Cassandra. The combination is working fine, however, except one problem: Mass deletions and compaction.
It seems, if I understood Cassandra correctly, that my usage is an anti-pattern (*). I have actors that read a lot of messages, and persist a hash of them (for duplicate detection). Every hour I take a snapshot, and deletes old messages. It is about 20'000 messages each hour (for each actor, does not seem much to me). But I guess this way of using Akka Persistence is quite typical? After a while, the deletes start to time out, and compaction is taking a really long time. As I understood it, DTCS (Date-Tiered Compaction Strategy) (+) should be more suited, since data is inserted in order, and deleted from the end. Is this correct? Has any of you problems with compactions, done some testing etc? Any experience on the matter?
