Graveyard compactions, when do they occur?

2012-03-27 Thread Erik Forsberg
Hi! I was trying out the "truncate" command in cassandra-cli. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraCli08 says "A snapshot of the data is created, which is deleted asyncronously during a 'graveyard' compaction." When do "graveyard" compactions happen? Do I have to trigger them somehow?

Cassandra "graveyard" sounds like a lot of thombstones that will be compacted during normal compact. You can trigger that manually using the nodetool. 2012/3/28 Erik Forsberg > Hi! > > I was trying out the "truncate" command in cassandra-cli. > > http://wiki.apache.org/**cassandra/CassandraCli0
