> Lets have a node with 8 cores and lets do "nodetool setconcurrentcompactors 4"
> When I am doing "nodetool garbagecollect", there is a possibility to specify 
> number of "jobs" via -j flag. If I set it to "2", max two threads will be 
> compacting, if I set it to 6, it will be in practice capped to 4 as that is 
> my "concurrentcompactors" setting.
> So far good.
> However, when I set jobs to 4 and I execute garbagecollecting on two tables, 
> tb1 and tb2 like this:
> {code}
> nodetool garbagecollect -j 4 -- keyspace1 tb1 tb2
> {code}
> What it does is that it will start to gc first table, 4 tables at max AND 
> THEN it will start to gc the second table.
> In other words, if tb1 has 10 tables to gc and I have 4 jobs at max, it will 
> gc them, but if one looks into compactionstats, she sees that as gc-ing 
> progresses, there might be e.g. just 2 tables left to gc so in theory there 
> is a slot for two additional sstables to gc-ed as well but this will not 
> happen. It will wait until the first table is gc-ed and then it will start to 
> gc the second one with 4 threds.
> This might be improved so as soon as there is a free job thread  to gc, next 
> sstable would be scheduled to be gc-ed even it is from a different cql table.
