Yup, I understand that's this issue (the fix is still unreleased): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6092 However, my suspicion is that adding/removing nodes has probably kickstarted the compaction anyway. I've tried issuing "nodetool compact" with no obvious improvement. Also, there are plenty of compactions running - it just seems like the number of pending tasks is never affected. Good point on the version. I'm on 2.0.1. -- Russ Garrett r...@garrett.co.uk
