Is everything in the table TTL’d? Do you do explicit deletes before the data is expected to expire ?
Generally speaking, gcgs exists to prevent data resurrection. But ttl’d data can’t be resurrected once it expires, so gcgs has no purpose unless you’re deleting it before the ttl expires. If you’re doing that, twcs won’t be able to drop whole sstables anyway, so maybe LCS will be less disk usage (but much higher IO) > On Oct 17, 2019, at 10:36 PM, Adarsh Kumar <adarsh0...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > We have a use case of time series data with TTL where we want to use > TimeWindowCompactionStrategy because of its better management for TTL and > tombstones.
