Its a freshly installed cluster with no upgrade history. I have 6 cfs and only one of them is written into. That cf has around one thousand keys. A quick key_range_scan verifies this. However when I do cfstats, I see the following for this cf. Number of Keys (estimate): 5248 Key cache capacity: 200000 Key cache size: 99329 What is the definition of these three output values? Both the Number of Keys and Key Cache size are way over what they should be. Thanks!
