Cleanups should be less impacting
---------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1746
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1746
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Edward Capriolo


When a new node is added its neighbours require cleanup. Cleanup is very 
performance impacting and for larger data sets takes a long time. You really do 
not get all the benefits of the new node until the neighbours are cleaned up.
Suggestion:
Configuration option that can be changed from JMX compaction_auto_cleanup := 
{true,false} set to false by default.
During non major compaction if compaction_auto_cleanup flag is set to TRUE, we 
look at the natural endpoints for the key we are compacting. If the key does 
not belong on this machine we can remove it. 

This would save us from the heavy hammer of cleanup compaction. It would also 
be less book keeping for administrators.  
Most people would want to leave this at false, join new node, wait a few days. 
If the node has not failed by now, it likely will not. Set the flag to true and 
cleanup will happen over time. Users can still force clean up if they wish.
