I am currently running a cluster with 1.2.8. One of my larger column families on one of my nodes has keyspace-tablename-ic-####-Data.db with a modify date in August.
Since august we have added several nodes (with vnodes), with the same number of vnodes as all the existing nodes. As a result, (we've since gone from 15 to 21 nodes), then ~32% of my data of the original 15 nodes should have been essentially balanced out to the 6 new nodes. (1/15 + 1/16 + .... 1/21). When I run a cleanup, however, the old data files never get updated, and I can't believe that they all should have remained the same. The only recently updated files in that data directory are secondary index sstable files. Am I doing something wrong here? Am I thinking about this wrong? David
