Disk space includes: 1. Live SSTable files (Data, Index, Filter) 2. Garbage (compacted) SSTable files. For each column, except for the value bytes, there are anditional bytes include (2+columnname+1+8) On Sat, Jul 10, 2010 at 2:57 AM, Jonathan Ellis wrote: > you should read the "cassandra disk

what does WriteCount signify actually, it should also include writes which are replicas right? It is total no of writes on that node for that CFtill now, right ? On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 2:39 PM, Sagar Agrawal wrote: > row size is 10 KB and write count on a node for a CF is 1054451, > so ideally

row size is 10 KB and write count on a node for a CF is 1054451, so ideally the total disk space used on that node by that CF should be around 10 GB but it's showing 23 GB what else might be taking up so much space? Thanks
