This is a pretty good option. Other options: 1) You changed topology on Nov 28, and the ranges covered by those sstables are no longer intersecting with the ranges on the node, so they're not being selected as LCS compaction candidates (and if you run nodetool cleanup, they probably get deleted) 2) You ran incremental repairs once, and stopped on the 28th, and now those sstables have a repairedAt set, so they won't be compacted with other (unrepaired) sstables 3) There's some horrible bug where the sstables got lost from the running daemon, and if you restart it'll magically get sucked in and start working again (this is really unlikely, and it would be a very bad bug). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@cassandra.apache.org
