There's many things that can trigger a compaction, knowing the type of
compaction can help narrow it down.
Have you looked at the nodetool compactionstats command output when it
is happening? What is the compaction type? It can be "compaction", but
can also be something else, such as
Hi team,
I have a query, in our prod environment, there are multiple key spaces and
tables. According to requirements, every table has different compaction
strategies like level/time/size.
Somehow, when I checked the compaction history, I noticed that compaction
occurs every 6 hr for every table.
Hi Prerna
Compactions are triggered automatically based on the compaction strategy.
Since you are seeing compactions triggered every 6 hours, the thing that
can be happening is you have such a kind of traffic where you have lots
of writes every 6 hours.
