OK, so I'm looking at this page: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/MemtableSSTable
This looks promising: "A compaction marker is also added to obsolete sstables so they can be deleted on startup if the server does not perform a GC before being restarted." So it would seem that if I restart the server, the obsoleted data should be GCd out of existence, don't you think? But it's not happening. I brought down one node, restarted it and the old data is still there.
