Hi Everybody,

JConsole tells me I've got CompactionReducer threads stacking up, consuming 
memory, and never going away.  Eventually, my Java process fails because it 
can't allocate any more native threads.  Here's my setup…

Cassandra 1.0.5 on CentOS 6.0
4 GB of RAM
50 GB SSD HD
Memtable flush threshold = 128 MB
compaction throughput limit = 16 MB/sec
Multithreaded compaction = true

It may very well be that I'm doing something strange here, but it seems like 
those compaction threads should go away eventually.  I'm hoping the combination 
of a low Memtable flush threshold, low compaction T/P limit, and heavy write 
load doesn't mean those threads are hanging around because they're actually not 
done doing their compaction tasks.

Thanks,
