Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-12209: ---------------------------------------------- It's worth noting that when you get in trouble with compaction (blowing LCS out, etc) that STCS is the real workhorse that saves you. I don't know how many times I've switched someone in bad shape to STCS, at least temporarily, to get the sstable count down before switching back to another strategy. STCS Just Works, imo, even though it isn't terribly clever. > Make Level compaction default > ----------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-12209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12209 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Wish > Reporter: sankalp kohli > Priority: Minor > > Level Compaction has come a long way since it was added.
