 ]

Christian Esken updated CASSANDRA-13005:
----------------------------------------
    Description: 
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)

{color:blue}edit 2017-01-19: This ticket may be obsolete. See the later 
comments for more information.{color}
