> This ticket overlaps with CASSANDRA-1876 to a degree, but the approaches and
> reasoning are different enough to open a separate issue.
> The problem with compactions currently is that they compact the set of
> sstables that existed the moment the compaction started. This means that for
> longer running compactions (even when running as fast as possible on the
> hardware), a very large number of new sstables might be created in the
> meantime. We have observed this proliferation of sstables killing performance
> during major/high-bucketed compactions.
> One approach would be to pause compactions in upper buckets (containing
> larger files) when compactions in lower buckets become possible. While this
> would likely solve the problem with read performance, it does not actually
> help us perform compaction any faster, which is a reasonable requirement for
> other situations.
> Instead, we need to be able to perform any compactions that are currently
> required in parallel, independent of what bucket they might be in.
