Using cassandra 0.7.0 The class org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableDeletingReference only remove the xxxx-Data.db file, but leave the xxx-Compacted, xxx-Filter.db, xxx-Index.db and xxx-Statistics.db intact.
And that's the behavior I saw. I ran manual compact then trigger a GC from jconsole. The Data.db file got removed but not the others. Is this the expected behavior? Regards, Chen
