Re: Cassandra isn't compacting old files

LCS major compaction on 2.2 should compact each level to have a single
SSTable. It seems more likely to me that you are simply not generating
enough data to require compactions in L3 and most data is TTL'ing before it
gets there. Out of curiosity, what does sstablemetadata report for
 Estimated droppable tombstones on one of those tables, and what is your
TTL?​
