>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Paulo Motta
>            Assignee: Paulo Motta
>
> On CASSANDRA-5263 it was introduced dynamic merkle tree sizing based on 
> estimated number of partitions as {{estimatedDepth = lg(numPartitions)}}, but 
> on 
> [CompactionManager.doValidationCompaction|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.1/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/compaction/CompactionManager.java#L1052]
>  this is being calculated as:
> {{int depth = numPartitions > 0 ? (int) 
> Math.min(Math.floor(Math.log(numPartitions)), 20) : 0;}}
> This is actually calculating {{ln(numPartitions)}} (base-e) instead of 
> {{lg(numPartitions)}} (base-2), which causes merkle trees to lose resolution, 
> what may result in overstreaming.
