bug in the 0.8.0 release version. Cassandra splits the sstables depending on size and tries to find (by default) at least 4 files of similar size.
If it cannot find 4 files of similar size, it logs that message in 0.8.0. You can try to reduce the minimum required files for compaction and it will work.
