Andrea Gazzarini commented on CASSANDRA-5074: --------------------------------------------- Probably that wasn't clear, but honestly I believe it's a problem of mine: I have just a little bit of experience on Cassandra source code and its internal architecture. Ok, now I think I got the point about your idea, so I will continue investigating the code in order to implement that. A question: in case the logic is moved on the CompactionMananger, what should be, from client point of view, a nice and good way to indicate that the (background) compaction must be disabled? I believe the command line of my previous post is no longer appropriate > create column family XYZ with compaction_strategy=NoCompactionStrategy > Add an official way to disable compaction > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-5074 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5074 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2.2 > > > We've traditionally used "min or max compaction threshold = 0" to disable > compaction, but this isn't exactly intuitive and it's inconsistently > implemented -- allowed from jmx, not allowed from cli. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
