Not sure why we didn't think to check available disk space to begin with, but 
it would have been nice to get an error regardless.

Thanks again for your help!

Subject: Re: Decommissioning node is causing broken pipe error

Could you provide some of the log messages when the receiver ran out of disk 
space ? Sounds like it should be at ERROR level.

Thanks

Just wanted to update you guys that we turned on DEBUG level logging on the 
decommissioned node and the node receiving the decommissioned node's range. We 
did this by editing <cassandra-home>/conf/log4j-server.properties and changing 
the log4j.rootLogger to DEBUG.

We ran decommission again and saw the that the receiving node was running out 
of disk space. The 184GB file was not able to fully stream to the receiving 
node.

We simply added more disk space to the receiving node and then decommission ran 
successfully.

Thanks for your help Aaron and also thanks for all those Cassandra articles on 
your blog. We found them helpful.

I think this is a mis-typing; it used to be that major compactions
were necessary to remove tombstones, but this is no longer the case in
0.7 so that the need for major compactions is significantly lessened
or even eliminated. However, running major compactions won't cause
tombstones *not* to be removed; it's just not required *in order* for
them to be removed.

I think he was suggesting that any tombstones *left* in the large sstable 
generated by the major compaction won't be removed for a long time because that 
sstable itself will not participate in any minor compactions for a long time.  
(In general, rows in that sstable will not be merged for a long time.)
