How do you set the compaction threshold from storage-conf.xml? is this possible?
What is the consensus on a basic Key-Value store of setting the compactionthreshold min/max from ./nodetool --host=localhost --port=8181 getcompactionthreshold Current compaction threshold: Min=4, Max=32 to say something like 2/5 ? The next question is why do you want to change it? I noticed that all my outages are due to compaction. The SSTable count grows from 4-11 and then a compaction happens taking that server offline even with all the threshold tricks in cassandra.in.sh (-Dcassandra.compaction.priority=1). So, playing with this value seems to me to be the right course of action.
