Hi Everyone, I'm running into an issue I can't seem to Solve.
I execute force compaction in order to reclaim back storage. Everything was working fine for a time, but after a while I found that tombstones aren't being removed any longer. For example, I've compacted the following SSTable: *21G *Sep 19 10:18 file-jb-69103-Data.db Estimated droppable tombstones: *0.9115601492568154* I ran it with jmxterm and the compaction started and completed successfully. $>run -b org.apache.cassandra.db:type=CompactionManager forceUserDefinedCompaction file-jb-69103-Data.db #calling operation forceUserDefinedCompaction of mbean org.apache.cassandra.db:type=CompactionManager #operation returns: null A new SStable was created, but no tombstones were removed. *21G *Sep 25 12:16 file-jb-71319-Data.db Estimated droppable tombstones: * 0.9115601492568154* I've tried running it from jconsole as well, but the outcome was the same. Is anyone familiar with this issue? Btw, this cluster is on version 2.0.14 . Thanks! Shalom
