Hi Thomas, I don't think I have seen compaction ever being faster. For me, tables with small values usually are around 5 MB/s with a single compaction. With larger blobs (few KB per blob) I have seen 16MB/s. Both with "nodetool setcompactionthroughput 0". I don't think its disk related either.

Hello, yet another question/issue with repair. Cassandra 2.1.18, 3 nodes, RF=3, vnode=256, data volume ~ 5G per node only. A repair (nodetool repair -par) issued on a single node at this data volume takes around 36min with an AVG of ~ 15MByte/s disk throughput (read+write) for the entire
