hi Cassandra Developers, I am experiencing huge commitlog size (200+G) after inserting huge amount of data. It is a 4-node cluster with RF= 3, and currently each has 200+G commit log (so there are around 1T commit log in total)
The setting of commitlog_total_space_in_mb is default. I am using 1.1.6. I did not do nodetool cleanup and nodetool flush yet, but I did nodetool repair -pr for each column family. There is 1 huge column family (around 68G in data_file_directories), and 18 mid-huge column family (around 1G in data_file_directories) and around 700 mini column family (around 10M in data_file_directories) I am wondering whether the huge commitlog size is the expected behavior or not? and how can we reduce the size of commitlog? Sincerely, Hsiao
