Hello, However, the actual size of the data directory did not decrease at all. > Disk Load monitored by JMX has been decreased.
This sounds like 'auto_snapshot' is enabled. This option will trigger a snapshot before any table drop / truncate to prevent user mistakes mostly. Then the data is removed but as it is still referenced by the snapshot (hard link), space cannot be freed. Running 'nodetool clearsnapshot' should help reducing the dataset size in this situation. The client fails to establish a connection and I see the following > exceptions in the Cassandra logs. org.apache.cassandra.db.UnknownColumnFamilyException: Couldn't find table > for cfId… This does not look like a failed connection to me but rather a try to query some inexistent data. If that's the data you just deleted (keyspace / table), this is expected. If not there is an other issue, I hope not related to the delete in this case...
