Hi all,
I've noticed a change in behavior between 0.8.10 and 1.0.8 when it comes
to sstable2json output and major compactions. Is this a bug or intended
behavior?
With 1.0.8:
create keyspace ks;
use ks;
create column family foo;
set foo[1][1] = 1;
nodetool -h localhost flush
sstable2json foo-hc-1-Data.db =>
{
"01": [["01","01",1332920802272000]]
}
del foo[1];
set foo[2][2] = 2;
nodetool -h localhost flush
sstable2json foo-hc-2-Data.db =>
{
"01": [],
"02": [["02","02",1332920843090000]]
}
nodetool -h localhost compact ks foo
So far so good. But now I expect the resulting sstable to look like
foo-hc-2 (the way 0.8.10 behaves) but instead it looks like the deleted
foo[1] has been resurrected (foo[1] is still deleted when using the
thrift api):
sstable2json foo-hc-3-Data.db =>
{
"01": [["01","01",1332920802272000]],
"02": [["02","02",1332920843090000]]
}
So why is the full foo[1] row included in the sstable2json output and
not just a tombstone?
This is both a wast of disk space and makes it impossible to trust the
sstable2json output.
