> ./src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/sstable/SSTable.java: 147
> Has "        logger.info("Deleted " + desc); ".
> This combined with the JVM not being able to delete files until a GC has run 
> means that restarting a node usually prompts a flood of log messages like :
> "Deleted /mnt/var/cassandra/data/Digg/UserActivity-10658-Data.db"
> I believe that I am not the only operator who reads a log upon restart that 
> says "I deleted your data files" and becomes concerned.
> Now, personally, I have read the code and understand the conditions under 
> which these files are deleted and so no longer get frightened. For new 
> operators and people who may feel less comfortable reading the code, 
> specifying WHY the file has been deleted ("Deleted <filename> because it was 
> obsolete and marked for deletion as a result of compaction.") seems likely to 
> reduce blood pressure and operator stress levels. :)
