Thanks Jake. Then I am definitely seeing weirdness, as there are tons of
"pending tasks" in compaction stats, and tons of index files created in the
data directory. Plus it does tell me that it is building the secondary index,
and that seems to be happening at an amazingly glacial pace.

I have 2 CFs there, with multiple secondary indexes. I'll try
to compact the CF one by one, reboot and see if that helps.

No, the indexes are not rebuilt every compaction. Only if you manually rebuild or bootstrap a new node does it use compaction manager to rebuild.

    Thanks Aaaron. Just to be clear, every time I do a compaction,
    I rebuild all indexes from scratch. Right?

    Yes secondary index builds are done via the compaction manager.

    I noticed that "nodetool compactionstats" shows the building of
    the secondary index while
    I initiate compaction. Is this to be expected? Cassandra version

    Thank you
