Hey When deciding which sstables to compact together, how is the priority determined between tasks, and can I do something about it?
In some cases (mostly after removing a node), it takes a while for compactions to keep up with the new data the came from removed nodes, and I see it is busy on huge compaction tasks, but in the meantime a lot of small sstables are piling up (new data that is coming from the application, so read performance is not good, new data is scattered in many sstables, and probably combining big sstables won't help reduce fragmentation as much (I think). Another thing that comes to mind, is perhaps I have a table that is very big, but not being read that much, would be nice to have other tables have higher compaction priority (to help in a case like I described above). Version is 4.0.4 Gil
