Hi Alain thanks for your kick reply.
Regarding SimpleStrategy perhaps you are right but it's so easy to add
nodes.
I'm *not* using vnodes and the default 256. The information that I've
posted it a regular nodetool status keyspace.
My partition key is a sequencial big int but nodetool cfstatus shows
that the number of keys are not balanced (data from 3 nodes):
Number of keys (estimate): 442779640
Number of keys (estimate): 736380940
Number of keys (estimate): 451097313
*Should I use nodetool rebuild?*
Running:
nodetool getendpoints mykeyspace data 9213395123941039285
10.1.1.52
10.1.1.185
nodetool getendpoints mykeyspace data 9213395123941039286
10.1.1.161
10.1.1.19
All nodes are working hard because my TTL is for 18 days and daily data
ingestion is around 120,000,000 records:
nodetool compactionstats -H
pending tasks: 3
- mykeyspace.data: 3
id compaction type keyspace
table completed total unit progress

4.05 GiB 133.02 GiB bytes 3.04%
Active compaction remaining time : 2h17m34s
The nodetool repair by default in this C* version is incremental and
since the repair is run in all nodes in different hours and I don't want
snapshots that's why I'm cleaning twice a day (not sure that with -pr a
snapshot is created).
The cleanup was already remove was there because last node was created a
few days ago.
I'm using garbagecollect to force the cleanup since I'm running out of
space.
Regards.
