Use the following sstable on our file system as an example. rw-rr- 1 byan admin 333 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-hd-115-Index.db rw-rr- 1 byan admin 66305 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Data.db rw-rr- 1 byan admin 67 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Digest.sha1 rw-rr- 1 byan admin 1936 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Filter.db
The reason why we tweak the hashcode and equals methods is that the Descriptor for indexBytes-hd-115-Index.db and indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Data.db are the same. If the Descriptor is used as key in a map and indexBytes-hd-115-Index.db get listed first, the C* will consider that the there are four components for this Descriptor [Digest.sha1, Index.db, Filter.db, Data.db]. In this case, it is not correct. When removing orphans for sstable, the Descriptor will be used to create the filename to delete files, that is why C* cannot find the file to delete.
