Hi Alexander, It would actually be a great improvement for ops if we could add a switch to compactionstats in order to have the compression ratio applied automatically.
Yes actually that can be nice. Thank you guys for you reply. I have 34GB in total size of our sstable @Jonathan Haddad. And the ratio is 0.17053810600081237 SSTable Compression Ratio: 0.17053810600081237 Then my actual size of data uncompressed is 0.17053810600081237 x 34GB ~~ 200GB which makes sense :) Nice to know the subtlenes of cassandra :) Saludos Jean Carlo "The best way to predict the future is to invent it" Alan Kay On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 8:53 AM, Alexander Dejanovski <a...@thelastpickle.com > wrote: > Indeed, nodetool compactionstats shows uncompressed sizes. > As Oleksandr suggests, use the table compression ratio to compute the > actual size on disk. > > It would actually be a great improvement for ops if we could add a switch > to compactionstats in order to have the compression ratio applied > automatically. > > On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 7:22 AM Oleksandr Shulgin < > oleksandr.shul...@zalando.de> wrote: > >> On Jan 4, 2017 17:58, "Jean Carlo" <jean.jeancar...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hello guys >> >> I have a table with 34Gb of data in sstables (including tmp).
