Yes. Sorry I didn't mention this, but of course I'm checking on indexes once in a while.
So yes, they are marked as built.

All of this started happening after a few days of continuous loading process. Since the nodes have good hardware (24 cores + SSD), the apparent load on each node was nothing remarkable, even at 20kHz insertion rate. But maybe I'm being overoptimistic.

Hmm that does sound fishy.

When you run show keyspaces from cassandra-cli it shows which indexes are built. Are they marked built in your column family?

    I understand that indexes are CFs. But the compaction stats says
    it's building the
    index, not compacting the corresponding CF. Either that's an
    ambiguous diagnostic,
    or indeed something is not right with my rig as of late.

    Well, the since the secondary indexes are themselves
    column families they too are compacted along with everything else.

        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

            I noticed that "nodetool compactionstats" shows the

            I initiate compaction. Is this to be expected?
