Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-5682.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
bq. I think that the Cassandra needs the compaction function for secondary
index .
Possible since CASSANDRA-4464
> When the Cassandra delete keys in secondary Index?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5682
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Environment: normal x86 PC (i3 CPU + 4GB ram) + Ubuntu 12.04

> How can i reduce the size of secondary index?
> Obviously, I delete many keys, and tried flush, compact, cleanup,
> rebuild_index using nodetool. However, i can't reduce the size of secondary
> index. ( Of course, the size of table(Primary key) is reduced. )
> Therefore, I found out the hint from the Cassandra source code, and I guess a
> feature of secondary index deletion.
> 1) When I request deletion of key, and the key is in the sstable(not in the
> memtable), the Cassandra doesn't insert the tombstone to the sstable for
> secondary index.( Unlike the table )
> ( from AbstractSimpleColumnSecondaryIndex.delete() function. )
> 2) After scaning the secondary index, the tombstone is maded in secondary
> index.
> ( from KeysSearcher.getIndexedIterator() function. It is called by index scan
> verb. )
> 3) Cleanup command in nodetool is used to delete out of range keys. ( Cleanup
> command don't care about deleted keys )
> ( from CompactionManager.doCleanupCompaction() function. )
> After this, I scan deleted keys using 'Where' clause, and I can reduce the
> size of secondary index. I think that it is only one way to reduce the size
> of secondary index.
> Is this a correct conclusion? I can't found related articles and other
> methods.
> I think that the Cassandra needs the compaction function for secondary index .
