Anubhav Kale commented on CASSANDRA-10960:
------------------------------------------
Thanks for the explanation. While I don't want to continue the conversation
here, IMHO C* need to enable a behavior where "old" ss tables from backups are
deleted whenever they are deleted as part of compaction from actual folders.
Else, too much duplicate data has to be moved back to nodes at the time of
recovery.
Specific scenario is when backups need to be moved outside of Cassandra, else
current behavior is good enough.
> Compaction should delete old files from incremental backups folder

> When compaction runs the old flushed SS Tables from backups folder are not
> deleted. If folks need to move the backups folder somewhere outside the
> cluster, recovery becomes slower because unnecessary files need to be copied
> back.
> Is this behavior by design ?
