When we made a similar move, for an unknown reason (I didn't hear any feedback from the list when I asked why this might be), compaction didn't start after we moved from SizedTiered to leveled compaction until I ran "nodetool compact <keyspace> <column-family-converted-to-lcs>".
The thread is here: http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg27726.html I've also seen other individuals on this list state that those pending compaction stats didn't move unless the node was restarted. Compaction started to run several minutes after restart.
