Subject: RE: Increased Disk Usage After Upgrading From Cassandra 3.x.x to 4.1.3
Dear William,

As Luciano mentioned previously, could you check the snapshot folder?
To know where the data is stored, check the value of data_file_directories in 
the cassandra.yaml file.
By default, it is located in the $CASSANDRA_HOME/data/data directory.

You can then browse all snapshots with the command: find . -iname snapshots 
-exec du -h {} \;

Best regards,
Fabien

We do not do any repairs and maybe that is the issue.  We do a once weekly 
compaction.

Hi

Have you some use of incremental  repair ?

Kind regards

As much as sstable files are immutable, there are operations that can delete 
them, such as compactions (merges) and upgrades (upgradesstables - you possibly 
ran this in your upgrade).

Even though snapshots are hardlinks, when the original sstable file get 
deleted, it will actually behave like a copy of the old file as it will keep 
pointing to the old inodes.

Luciano,

That is very possible.  Any reasons why the increased disk space from version 3 
to 4?  Did anything in particular change that would affect disk space?

Thank you for your reply,

Haven't you forgot to clean some snapshots ?

I also forgot to include we do compaction once a week.

Hi.  A few months ago, I upgraded a single node Cassandra instance from version 
3 to 4.1.3.  This instance is not very large with about 15 to 20 gigabytes of 
data on version 3, but after the update it has went substantially up to over 
100gb.  I do a compaction once a week and take a snapshot, but with the 
increase in data it makes the compaction a much lengthier process.  I also did 
a sstableupate as part of the upgrade.  Any reason for the increased size of 
the database on the file system?

I am using the default STCS compaction strategy.  My “nodetool cfstats” on a 
heavily used table looks like this:
