Jon Haddad commented on CASSANDRA-14496:
----------------------------------------
I'm not a fan of enabling them by default. There's no value for the frequency
that make any sense at all given that a TTL could either be 5 minutes or 5
years.
If someone supplies the {{tombstone_compaction_interval}} I suppose it wouldn't
be unreasonable to enable them.
> TWCS erroneously disabling tombstone compactions
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-14496
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14496
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compaction
> Reporter: Robert Tarrall
> Priority: Minor
>
> This code:
> {code:java}
> this.options = new TimeWindowCompactionStrategyOptions(options);
> if
> (!options.containsKey(AbstractCompactionStrategy.TOMBSTONE_COMPACTION_INTERVAL_OPTION)
> &&
> !options.containsKey(AbstractCompactionStrategy.TOMBSTONE_THRESHOLD_OPTION))
> {
> disableTombstoneCompactions = true;
> logger.debug("Disabling tombstone compactions for TWCS");
> }
> else
> logger.debug("Enabling tombstone compactions for TWCS");
> }
> {code}
> ... in TimeWindowCompactionStrategy.java disables tombstone compactions in
> TWCS if you have not *explicitly* set either tombstone_compaction_interval or
> tombstone_threshold. Adding 'tombstone_compaction_interval': '86400' to the
> compaction stanza in a table definition has the (to me unexpected) side
> effect of enabling tombstone compactions.
> This is surprising and does not appear to be mentioned in the docs.
> I would suggest that tombstone compactions should be run unless these options
> are both set to 0.
> If the concern is that (as with DTCS in CASSANDRA-9234) we don't want to
> waste time on tombstone compactions when we expect the tables to eventually
> be expired away, perhaps we should also check unchecked_tombstone_compaction
> and still enable tombstone compactions if that's set to true.
> May also make sense to set defaults for interval & threshold to 0 & disable
> if they're nonzero so that setting non-default values, rather than setting
> ANY value, is what determines whether tombstone compactions are enabled?
