Hi Team,
I have a high write traffic to my Cassandra cluster. I experience a very high number of pending compactions. As I expect higher writes, The pending compactions keep increasing. Even when I stop my writes it takes several hours to finishing pending compactions. My CF is configured with LCS, with sstable_size_mb=20M. My CPU is below 20%, JVM memory usage is between 45%-55%. I am using Cassandra 1.1.9. How can I increase the compaction rate so it will run bit faster to match my write speed? Your inputs are appreciated. Thanks, Jay
