We have a cluster using leveled compaction and there are only a couple CF. The cluster does not seem to be able to keep up with compaction. When running "top", I always see core that is 100% busy, which I think is most likely the compaction thread.
I wanted to enable multithreaded_compaction, but someone told me it was "unstable". Does anyone have any experience with this parameter? p.s. I am new to cassandra, so sorry if this is a silly question. Thanks! -alex spitzer Cell: 617.407.2274 AIM: AlexSpitzer GChat: aspit...@gmail.com
