             Summary: Decrease Default concurrent_compactors from number of CPU
                 Key: CASSANDRA-8787
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8787
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sebastian Estevez


Currently we default concurrent_compactors to the number of avaliable CPUs 
which means compactions can theoretically take over all threads and prevent 
reads and writes from happening.

I'm currently seeing an extreme case of this that is caused by 6405. But, in 
general, this is a bad default. We should probably default 
concurrent_compactors to num_cpu to cores/2 or even cores/4.
