I did restart the cluster and now it is normal 5GB.

My data on nodes grows to roughly 30GB. After a restart only 5GB remains. Is a factor 6 common for Cassandra? 2012/1/18 aaron morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com> Good idea Jeremiah, are you using compression Michael ? Scanning through the CF stats this jumps out. Column Family: Attractions SSTable count: 3 Space used (live): 27542876685 Space used (total): 1213220387 Thats 25Gb of live data but only 1.3GB total. Otherwise want to see if a restart fixes it :) Would be interesting to know if it's wrong from the start or drifts during streaming or compaction.

Are you using compressed column families, a lot of the issues were with those. Might update to 1.0.7. -Jeremiah On 01/16/2012 04:04 AM, Michael Vaknine wrote: Hi, I have a 4 nodes cluster 1.0.3 version This is what I get when I run nodetool ring Address DC Rack Status State Load Owns Token 127605887595351923798765477786913079296 10.8.193.87 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 46.47 GB 25.00% 0 10.5.7.76 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 48.01 GB 25.00% 42535295865117307932921825928971026432 10.8.189.197 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 53.7 GB 25.00% 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 10.5.3.17 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 43.49 GB 25.00% 127605887595351923798765477786913079296 I have finished running repair on all 4 nodes. I have less then 10 GB on the /var/lib/cassandra/data/ folders My question is Why nodetool reports almost 50 GB on each node? Thanks Michael
