Re: space left for compaction
Hi Avi, Actually, in Thomas' example you would need an additional 100G of free disk space to complete the compaction, in the worst-case situation (the worst-case would be that neither input SSTable contains any overlapping data or tombstones, therefore the output SSTable would also be roughly 100G). STCS progressively compacts SSTables of similar size together, with the output being a single SSTable containing the data of the input SSTables. Eventually you may end up with some very large SSTables that combined will take up 50% of your total disk space. In order to compact those SSTables together, STCS requires an equal amount of free disk space, which would be the other (unused) 50% of your total disk space.

RE: space left for compaction
Hi Thomas , So IIUC in this case you should leave at least 50G for compaction (half of the sstables size). Is that makes sense?

RE: space left for compaction
Hi, half of free space does not make sense. Imagine your SSTables need 100G space and you have 20G free disk. Compaction won't be able to do its job with 10G. Half free of total disk makes more sense and is what you need for a major compaction worst case. Thomas From: Peng Xiao [mailto:2535...@qq.com] Sent: Samstag, 30.

Dear All, As for STCS,datastax suggest us to keep half of the free space for compaction,this is not strict,could anyone advise how many space should we left for one node? Thanks, Peng Xiao
