                 Key: CASSANDRA-1963
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1963
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: API
            Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
            Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.7.1


When you don't have enough space to perform a major compaction but know there
would be space to reclaim, the actual algorithm (discard the biggest sstables
one by one until it fits) may not be helpful.
This is even more true now that minor compaction can remove tombstone and more
importantly with expiring columns (for which the compaction of a single
sstable can make sense).

This ticket proposes to expose a simple function through JMX to allow the
submission of a compaction on user-specified sstables.
