Alan Boudreault updated CASSANDRA-10490: ---------------------------------------- Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug) > DTCS historic compaction, possibly with major compaction > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-10490 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10490 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jonathan Shook > Fix For: 3.x, 2.2.x > > > Presently, it's simply painful to run a major compaction with DTCS. It > doesn't really serve a useful purpose. Instead, a DTCS major compaction > should allow for a DTCS-style compaction to go back before > max_sstable_age_days. We can call this a historic compaction, for lack of a > better term. > Such a compaction should not take precedence over normal compaction work, but > should be considered a background task. By default there should be a cap on > the number of these tasks running. It would be nice to have a separate > "max_historic_compaction_tasks" and possibly a > "max_historic_compaction_throughput" in the compaction settings to allow for > separate throttles on this. I would set these at 1 and 20% of the usual > compaction throughput if they aren't set explicitly. > It may also be desirable to allow historic compaction to run apart from > running a major compaction, and to simply disable major compaction altogether > for DTCS. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
