Christian Esken commented on CASSANDRA-13005:
---------------------------------------------
Adding an additional observation on the event of Jam 13: Most or all "missing"
files appeared after some time. It seems like some background process creates
those files, but sometimes it takes quite some time and also it happens for
multiple tables. For example at some time I was checking and files from 13
SSTables were missing (overall 78 files).
> Cassandra TWCS is not removing fully expired tables

> Key: CASSANDRA-13005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13005
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compaction
> Environment: Cassandra 3.0.9
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM version 25.112-b15 (Java version
> 1.8.0_112-b15)
> Linux 3.16
> Reporter: Christian Esken

> I have a table where all columns are stored with TTL of maximum 4 hours.
> Usually TWCS compaction properly removes expired data via tombstone
> compaction and also removes fully expired tables. The number of SSTables is
> nearly constant since weeks. Good.
> The problem: Suddenly TWCS does not remove old SSTables any longer. They are
> being recreated frequently (judging form the file creation timestamp), but
> the number of tables is growing. Analysis and actions take so far:
> - sstablemetadata shows strange data, as if the table is completely empty.
> - sstabledump throws an Exception when running it on such a SSTable
> - Even triggering a manual major compaction will not remove the old
> SSTable's. To be more precise: They are recreated with new id and timestamp
> (not sure whether they are identical as I cannot inspect content due to the
> sstabledump crash)
