This would only be expected at the start of a compaction with a new configuration. Since the sole responsibility of the compactor is to compact, it terminating is a very clear message it cannot do that process. My understanding is that it would not impact existing compactions in progress. In the absence of something like this we'd need additional metrics that capture failed compactions so we could monitor that state in addition to busy/idle. As-is we have to monitor for the impacts of failing compactions cascading across the cluster, then go back to individual compactor logs to determine who is healthy and who isn't after the fact. This is much more complex than just checking which processes are down and pulling their recent log history. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
