The problem > with this is that 1) it's a bit clunky (and leaves us in positions where we > can unnecessarily cleanup completed files, or conversely not cleanup files > that have been superceded); and 2) it's only used for a regular compaction - > no other compaction types are guarded in the same way, so can result in > duplication if we fail before deleting the replacements. > I'd like to see each sstable store in its metadata its direct ancestors, and > on startup we simply delete any sstables that occur in the union of all > ancestor sets. This way as soon as we finish writing we're capable of > cleaning up any leftovers, so we never get duplication. It's also much easier > to reason about. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
