Benjamin Coverston commented on CASSANDRA-3181: ----------------------------------------------- Was a little concerned about removing the scheduled compaction from leveldb, but the mechanics are really no different from the tiered compaction in terms of "it will stop when it's finished" assuming that nothing goes wrong with the running compactions. To be (probably overly) pedantic another advantage this has is that you are essentially kicking off only a single compaction where when the server was brought down there were probably multiple compactions in flight. +1 > Compaction fails to occur > ------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3181 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3181 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Brandon Williams > Assignee: Jonathan Ellis > Labels: compaction > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > Attachments: 3181.txt > > > Compaction just stops running at some point.
