Hey folks, After adding more nodes and moving tokens of "old" nodes to rebalance the ring, I noticed that the "old" nodes had significant more data then the newly bootstrapped nodes, even after cleanup.
I noticed that the old nodes had a much larger number of SSTables on LCS CFs, and most of them located on the last level: Node N-1 (old node): [1, 10, 102/100, 173, 2403, 0, 0, 0, 0] (total:2695) *Node N (new node): [1, 10, 108/100, 214, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] (total: 339)*Node N+1 (old node): [1, 10, 87, 113, 1076, 0, 0, 0, 0] (total: 1287) Since these sstables have a lot of tombstones, and they're not updated frequently, they remain in the last level forever, and are never cleaned. What is the solution here? The good old "change to STCS and then back to LCS", or is there something less brute force? Environment: Cassandra 1.2.16 - non-vnondes Any help would be very much appreciated.
