[~slebresne] it looks like in your example 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 would be the IP 
addresses of which Cassandra Nodes have been overridden to use a different 
compaction strategy? I poked around for a bit to see if there was a better way 
to uniquely identify a Cassandra Node and it seems like that is the best way.

Implementing the feature that way would still require some manual intervention 
(or a script). And honestly for how little you would need this a quick dirty 
script might be fine. As long as you have a majority of your cluster has slowly 
converted to the new compaction strategy, then any ones that may have restarted 
during the process will have minimal impact vs the current.

Another option I thought of is having a mechanism to control the maximum 
simultaneous compactions for table in the cluster. It would be useful in 
limiting performance impacts during compaction strategy changes or high write 
loads. However implementing this would mean something like a counter table in 
the system keyspace (since it uses paxos which could be used as a distributed 
semaphore)?

 Summary: Migrate Compaction Strategy Node by Node
 Key: CASSANDRA-10898
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10898
 Project: Cassandra
  Issue Type: Wish
  Components: Compaction, Tools
Reporter: Andrew From


It would be a great feature to be able to slowly change the compaction strategy 
of a ColumnFamily node-by-node instead of cluster wide. Currently if you change 
it cluster wide there's no good way to predict how long it will take. Thus the 
process could run for days while you still need the live data, but the cluster 
responds much more slowly due to the compaction strategy migration.

I stumbled across 
http://blog.alteroot.org/articles/2015-04-20/change-cassandra-compaction-strategy-on-production-cluster.html
 which gave me the idea. I was thinking this would be a nice feature to add to 
NodeTool, provided that the strategy in the blog is sound I wouldn't mind going 
ahead with the dev work to automate it. If not I would love to hear other ideas 
on how to best make this happen.
