HI Jean, This blog post is a pretty good resource: http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/anticompaction-in-cassandra-2-1
I believe in 2.1.x you don't need to do the manual migration procedure, but if you run regular repairs and the data set under LCS is fairly large (what this means will probably depend on your data model and hardware/cluster makeup) you can take advantage of a full repair to make anticompaction a bit easier. What we observed was the anticompaction procedure taking longer than a standard full repair and with a higher load on the cluster while running.
