That’s a target and not a maximum, and it can go over that even on LCS with wide partitions
In general, the practical limit is hundreds of gigabytes (I’ve seen 500-600 a lot, but not more than a terabyte very often). You’ll typically hit other issues and need to tune some params before you hit hard caps (unless you know what you’re doing). -- Jeff Jirsa > On Jun 27, 2018, at 3:11 PM, ZAIDI, ASAD A <az1...@att.com> wrote: > > With Leveled compaction strategy , you can set target size with > sstable_size_in_mb attribute however actual size can still be larger than > target given large partition size. > > Thanks/Asad > > From: Lucas Benevides [mailto:lu...@maurobenevides.com.br] > Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2018 7:02 AM > To: user@cassandra.apache.org > Subject: Maximum SSTable size > > Hello Community, > > Is there a maximum SSTable Size? > If there is not, does it go up to the maximum Operational System values? > > Thanks in advance, > Lucas Benevides
