             Summary: Implement compaction for a specific token range
                 Key: CASSANDRA-10643
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10643
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Compaction
            Reporter: Vishy Kasar



We see repeated cases in production (using LCS) where small number of users 
generate a large number repeated updates or tombstones. Reading data of such 
users brings in large amounts of data in to java process. Apart from the read 
itself being slow for the user, the excessive GC affects other users as well. 

Our solution so far is to move from LCS to SCS and back. This takes long and is 
an over kill if the number of outliers is small. For such cases, we can 
implement the point compaction of a token range. We make the nodetool compact 
take a starting and ending token range and compact all the SSTables that fall 
with in that range. We can refuse to compact if the number of sstables is 
beyond a max_limit.

Example: 
nodetool -st 3948291562518219268 -et 3948291562518219269 compact keyspace table
