             Summary: LeveledCompactionStrategy should split large files across 
data directories when compacting
                 Key: CASSANDRA-8329
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8329
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: J.B. Langston


Because we fall back to STCS for L0 when LCS gets behind, the sstables in L0 
can get quite large during sustained periods of heavy writes.  This can result 
in large imbalances between data volumes when using JBOD support.  

Eventually these large files get broken up as L0 sstables are moved up into 
higher levels; however, because LCS only chooses a single volume on which to 
write all of the sstables created during a single compaction, the imbalance is 
persisted.
