bq. If you lose one of these files you are SOL
So is the option to delete these files and restart and everything is considered
live?

> Currently we manage a list of in-progress compactions in a system table,
> which we use to cleanup incomplete compactions when we're done. 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 that have been superceded); and 2) it's only used for a regular compaction -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.
