After changing my ss_table_size as recommended my pending compactions across the cluster have leveled off at 34808 but it isn't progressing after 24 hours at that level.
As I've already changed the most offending column families I think the only option I have left is to remove the .json files from all of the column families and do another rolling restart... Developing... Thanks for the help so far On Sep 19, 2012, at 10:35 PM, "Віталій Тимчишин" <tiv...@gmail.com<mailto:tiv...@gmail.com>> wrote: I did see problems with schema agreement on 1.1.4, but they did go away after rolling restart (BTW: it would be still good to check describe schema for unreachable). Same rolling restart helped to force compactions after moving to Leveled compaction. If your compactions still don't go, you can try removing *.json files from the data directory of the stopped node to force moving all SSTables to level0.

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}; 290cf619-57b0-3ad1-9ae3-e313290de9c9 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], 290cf619-57b0-3ad1-9ae3-e313290de9c9:[10.8.30.15, 10.8.30.14, 10.8.30.13, 10.8.30.103, 10.8.30.104, 10.8.30.105, 10.8.30.106], f1de54f5-8830-31a6-9cdd-aaa6220cccd1:[10.8.30.101] 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 root@xxxx:~# nodetool tpstats Pool Name Active Pending Completed Blocked All time blocked ReadStage 0 0 1254592 0 0 RequestResponseStage 0 0 9480827 0 0 MutationStage 0 0 8662263 0 0 ReadRepairStage 0 0 339158 0 0 ReplicateOnWriteStage 0 0 0 0 0 GossipStage 0 0 1469197 0 0 AntiEntropyStage 0 0 0 0 0 MigrationStage 0 0 1808 0 0 MemtablePostFlusher 0 0 248 0 0 StreamStage 0 0 0 0 0 FlushWriter 0 0 248 0 4 MiscStage 0 0 0 0 0 commitlog_archiver 0 0 0 0 0 InternalResponseStage 0 0 5286 0 0 HintedHandoff 0 0 21 0 0 Message type Dropped RANGE_SLICE 0 READ_REPAIR 0 BINARY 0 READ 0 MUTATION 0 REQUEST_RESPONSE 0 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?
