i have done no deletes, just inserts. so you are correct, there isn't
any "data" to cleanup. however when i run some of the cleanup and/or
compaction tasks the space used on disk actually grows, and i would like
to force any unneeded files to be removed. as i write this, jonathan
has responded with i believe what i need.
thx!

Are you deleting data through the API or just doing a bunch of inserts

to clean up since data must be explicitly deleted.

my approach is this:
after only doing "puts" to cassandra for a while i stop my client and want
to perform the proper "cleanup" and/or "compact" operations that will reduce
the disk space used to a minimum. however i can't seem to figure it out.
i've done "major compaction", "cleanup", etc. but doesn't seem to get the
job done
so two questions
- what procedure is suggested to get rid of all unnecessary data?
- and what does the following "Compacted" file mean? seams like it is
marking "88" as compacted, but there are no more compactions happening
according to compaction mgr
