Hi all, I have a 2-node cluster running cassandra 2.1.18. One of the nodes has run out of disk space and died - almost all of it shows up as occupied by size_estimates CF. Out of 296GiB, 288GiB shows up as consumed by size_estimates in 'du -sh' output.
This is while the other node is chugging along - shows only 25MiB consumed by size_estimates (du -sh output). Any idea why this descripancy? Is it safe to remove the size_estimates sstables from the affected node and restart the service? Thanks, Kunal
