David Capwell commented on CASSANDRA-18507:
-------------------------------------------

I reverted the change to src so only the test exists, I then ran it and seems 
the jvm is crashing?

> Partial compaction can resurrect deleted data

>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Local/Compaction

> If there isn't enough disk space available to compact all existing sstables, 
> Cassandra will attempt to perform a partial compaction by removing sstables 
> from the set of candidate sstables to be compacted, starting with the largest 
> one. It is possible that the sstable removed from the set of sstables to 
> compact contains data for which there are tombstones in another (more recent) 
> sstable. Since the overlaps between sstables is computed when the 
> {{CompactionController}} is created, and the {{CompactionController}} is 
> created before the removal of any sstables from the set of sstables to be 
> compacted this computed overlap will be outdated when checking which sstables 
> are covered by certain tombstones. This leads to the faulty conclusion that 
> the tombstones can be pruned during the compaction, causing the data to be 
> resurrected.
> The issue is present in Cassandra 4.0 and 4.1. Cassandra 3.11 creates the 
> {{CompactionController}} after the set of sstables to compact has been 
> reduced, and is thus not affected. {{trunk}} does not appear to support 
> partial compactions at all, but instead refuses to compact when the disk is 
> full.
