Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-5074:
---------------------------------------------
To be honest, I'm not completely convinced about that NoCompactionStrategy
idea. I agree with the ticket premises than using min/max thresholds is adhoc,
especially since those threshold have no other meaning for leveled compaction.
However, as Andrea says, we only want to disable automatic (background)
compaction, not the user triggered ones, so replacing the strategy entirely
feels overkill to me. Overall, a simple boolean in ColumnFamilyStore would seem
much simpler to me. And since we already have the disableAutoCompaction call in
JMX (for some reason it doesn't seem the enableAutoCompaction is expose in JMX
so we should add it), I'd suggest using that as the sole way to enable/disable
auto compactions.
