Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-804:
------------------------------------------

the purpose is, if we can't compact all N files, see if we can compact N - 1, N 
- 2, etc.  Merging rows will actually free space in the average case, so it's 
possible that by merging some files rather than giving up completely that we 
will actually succeed at all of them next time.

> Warn operator when there is not enough disk space for compaction
