Potentially the pending compactions are a symptom and not the root
cause/problem.
When updating a 3rd column family with a larger sstable_size_in_mb it
looks like the schema may not be in a good state
[default@xxxx] UPDATE COLUMN FAMILY screenshots WITH
compaction_strategy=LeveledCompactionStrategy AND
compaction_strategy_options={sstable_size_in_mb: 200};

Waiting for schema agreement...
Warning: unreachable nodes 10.8.30.102The schema has not settled in 10
seconds; further migrations are ill-advised until it does.
Versions are UNREACHABLE:[10.8.30.102],

However, tpstats looks good. And the schema changes eventually do get
applied on *all* the nodes (even the ones that seem to have different
schema versions). There are no communications issues between the nodes and
they are all in the same rack

So I'm guessing maybe the different schema versions may be potentially
stopping compactions? Will compactions still happen if there are different
versions of the schema?
