We deployed a brand new 13 node 2.1.4 C* cluster and used sstabloader to stream 
about 500GB into cassandra.   The streaming took less than a day but afterwards 
 pending compactions do not decrease.  The Cassandra nodes (which have about 
500 pending compactions each) seem to spend most of their time in

    IntervalTree.comparePoints() and in
    CompactionController.maxPurgegableTimestamp()

(sometimes, too, in 
com.google.common.util.concurrent.Uninterruptibles.sleepUninteruptedly()).  
That's what Java VisualVM shows that they're doing in the sampler.

Many of the nodes show 100% cpu usage per core.

Any idea what's causing it to hang?

Might http://qnalist.com/questions/5818079/reasons-for-nodes-not-compacting  or 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8914  explain it?  Altering the 
table to use ,  'cold_reads_to_omit': 0.0  didn't help.

  Thanks, Don
