Hi all, We have a CF that's grown too large - it's not getting actively used in the app right now. The on-disk size of the <ks>.<cf> directory is ~407GB and I have only ~40GB free left on the disk.
I understand that if I trigger a TRUNCATE on this CF, cassandra will try to take snapshot. My question: Is the ~40GB enough to safely truncate this table? I will manually remove the <ks>.<cf> directory once the truncate is completed. Also, while browsing through earlier msgs regarding truncate, I noticed that it's possible to get OperationTimedOut <http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg48958.html> exception. Does that stop the truncate operation? Is there any other safe way to clean up the CF? Thanks, Kunal
