Have the sstables been generated by SSTableUnsortedWriter? If so, then what should happen is that value created by the same writer should not be aggregated, but those coming from different writer should aggregate. I'll have to admit that there is not very many reason why value from the same writer would not aggregate, it's kind of a bug. Would you mind opening on ticket on JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA)? -- Sylvain
