Ian Soboroff commented on CASSANDRA-1161:
-----------------------------------------

Well, it can always create a new file, too, right?

What's the tradeoff between appending an existing file and creating a new one?

The future problem - a db file growing past the point where it can be 
anticompacted - is currently hard to keep track of and hard to recover from.

Anyway, it was just a suggestion... if it doesn't make sense, mark it closed.

> Since anticompaction may require significant disk space, it would be nice to 
> be able to specify a disk quota.
> A simple quota option supporting literal and percentage quantities would be 
> nice, but I think a better approach would be an option to not allow a Data.db 
> file to grow larger in size than the existing free space on the volume.
