Graveyard compactions, when do they occur?

Hi! I was trying out the truncate command in cassandra-cli. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraCli08 says A snapshot of the data is created, which is deleted asyncronously during a 'graveyard' compaction. When do graveyard compactions happen? Do I have to trigger them somehow?

Cassandra graveyard sounds like a lot of thombstones that will be compacted during normal compact. You can trigger that manually using the nodetool. 2012/3/28 Erik Forsberg forsb...@opera.com Hi! I was trying out the truncate command in cassandra-cli.
