------------------------------------------
Summary: Major tombstone compaction
Key: CASSANDRA-7019
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7019
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Marcus Eriksson
It should be possible to do a "major" tombstone compaction by including all
sstables, but writing them out 1:1, meaning that if you have 10 sstables
before, you will have 10 sstables after the compaction with the same data,
minus all the expired tombstones.
We could do this in two ways:
# a nodetool command that includes _all_ sstables
# once we detect that an sstable has more than x% (20%?) expired tombstones, we
start one of these compactions, and include all overlapping sstables that
contain older data.
