Oh. So our data is all messed up now because of the "nodetool compact" I ran.
Hi Erick. Thanks for the quick reply. I just want to be sure about compact. I saw Cassandra will do compaction by itself even when I do not run "nodetool compact" manually (nodetool compactionstats always has some compaction running). So this automatic compact by Cassandra will clean up the tombstoned data files? Another question I have is, is there a way to un-mess my messed up data now?

It is unnecessary to manually run compactions since it creates more problems than it solves as I've explained in this post -- https://community.datastax.com/questions/6396/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.datastax.com%2Fquestions%2F6396%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C752550b0150740d8738008d93ae97621%7C621e62193ff94100b0e6fbe83e87c529%7C1%7C0%7C637605596658021039%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=pGXhTowWOcVC9Ag7zAkT85RuRzUdQFdner747sj737s%3D&reserved=0>.
