Jan Karlsson created CASSANDRA-9657: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Hint table doing unnecessary compaction Key: CASSANDRA-9657 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9657 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Environment: 2.1.7 Reporter: Jan Karlsson Priority: Minor I found some really strange behaviour. During the replay of a node I found this in the log: {code}INFO [CompactionExecutor:7] CompactionTask.java:271 Compacted 1 sstables to [/var/lib/cassandra/data/system/hints-2666e20573ef38b390fefecf96e8f0c7/system-hints-ka-120,]. 452,150,727 bytes to 452,150,727 (~100% of original) in 267,588ms = 1.611449MB/s. 1 total partitions merged to 1. Partition merge counts were {1:1, }{code} This happened multiple times until the hint replay was completed and the sstables were removed. I tried to replicate this by just starting up a cluster in ccm and killing a node for a few minutes. I got the same behaviour then. {Code} INFO [CompactionExecutor:2] CompactionTask.java:270 - Compacted 1 sstables to [/home/ejankan/.ccm/hint/node3/data/system/hints-2666e20573ef38b390fefecf96e8f0c7/system-hints-ka-2,]. 65,570 bytes to 65,570 (~100% of original) in 600ms = 0.104221MB/s. 1 total partitions merged to 1. Partition merge counts were {1:1, } {Code} It seems weird to me that the file does not decrease in size. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
