The "offending" CF only has one. The other one, that seems to behave well,
has nine.

How many indexes are there?

    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?

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