I have a column family that only stores the last 5 days worth of some data...and yet I have files in the data directory for this CF that are 3 weeks old. They take the form:
keyspace-CFName-ic-nnnn-Filter.db keyspace-CFName-ic-nnnn-Index.db keyspace-CFName-ic-nnnn-Data.db keyspace-CFName-ic-nnnn-Statistics.db keyspace-CFName-ic-nnnn-TOC.txt keyspace-CFName-ic-nnnn-Summary.db I have six bunches of these file groups, each with a different nnnn value...and with timestamps of each of the last five days...plus one group from 3 weeks ago...which makes me wonder if that group somehow should have been deleted but were not. The files are tens or hundreds of gigs so deleting would be good, unless its really bad! Thanks, Brian Tarbox
