Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-18334:
----------------------------------------------
The problem with doing this is someone else may make a ticket requesting more
precision in the logs (and over time I would expect that as density grows.)
There's no way to make everyone happy and no correct or incorrect solution.
Accessing this information programmatically via vtables or similar may be a way
around this.
> Change "Cleaned up" log message slightly

> Key: CASSANDRA-18334
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18334
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Observability/Logging
> Reporter: Lapo Luchini
> Priority: Normal

> Might seem like a very small change, but it leads me to confusion each and
> every time. 🤣
> I propose to change current message like:
> {{Cleaned up to /var/db/cassandra/data/…/me-19423-big-Data.db. 571.512GiB to
> 502.648GiB (~87% of original) for 11,708,552 keys. Time: 62,321,057 ms.}}
> To only 2 decimal places, to disambiguate the fact that the "." is a decimal
> separator and not a thousands separator.
> {{Cleaned up to /var/db/cassandra/data/…/me-19423-big-Data.db. 571.51GiB to
> 502.65GiB (~87% of original) for 11,708,552 keys. Time: 62,321,057 ms.}}
> I guess this happens less in the USA or countries where "." is always and
> only a decimal separator, but e.g. in Italy we use numbers usually like this
> "1.000,345" and thus, while accustomed to many values in the "international"
> format the period is a bit overloaded in my brain and I always am like "is
> that 571 and a half GiB, again?"
> Changing to two digits would help in that regard and, I think, only removes
> extra detail which was kinda overkill in the first place.
