             Summary: Small SSTable Segments Can Hurt Leveling Process
                 Key: CASSANDRA-4341
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4341
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Benjamin Coverston


This concerns:

static int MAX_COMPACTING_L0 = 32;

Repair can create very small SSTable segments. We should consider moving to a 
threshold that takes into account the size of the files brought into compaction 
rather than the number of files for this and similar situations. Bringing the 
small files from L0 to L1 magnifies the issue.

If there are too many very small files in L0 perhaps even an intermediate 
compaction would even reduce the magnifying effect of a L0 to L1 compaction.
