---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.0.x
> Parallel cleanup can lead to disk space exhaustion

> In CASSANDRA-5547, we made cleanup (among other things) run in parallel
> across multiple sstables. There have been reports on IRC of this leading to
> disk space exhaustion, because multiple sstables are (almost entirely)
> rewritten at the same time. This seems particularly problematic because
> cleanup is frequently run after a cluster is expanded due to low disk space.
> I'm not really familiar with how we perform free disk space checks now, but
> it sounds like we can make some improvements here. It would be good to
> reduce the concurrency of cleanup operations if there isn't enough free disk
> space to support this.
