Running Cassandra 0.8.1. Ran major compaction via: sudo /home/ubuntu/brisk/resources/cassandra/bin/nodetool -h localhost compact &
>From what I'd read about Cassandra, I thought that after compaction all of the different SSTables on disk for a Column Family would be merged into one new file. However, there are now a bunch of 0-sized Compacted files and a bunch of Data files. Any ideas about why there are still so many files left? Also, is a minor compaction the same thing as a read-only compaction in 0.7? ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-0E-x-x:/raiddrive/data/DemoKS$ ls -l total 270527136 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-07-13 03:07 DemoCF-g-5670-Compacted -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 89457447799 2011-07-10 00:26 DemoCF-g-5670-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 193456 2011-07-10 00:26 DemoCF-g-5670-Filter.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2081159 2011-07-10 00:26 DemoCF-g-5670-Index.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4276 2011-07-10 00:26 DemoCF-g-5670-Statistics.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-07-13 03:07 DemoCF-g-5686-Compacted -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 920521489 2011-07-09 22:03 DemoCF-g-5686-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11776 2011-07-09 22:03 DemoCF-g-5686-Filter.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126725 2011-07-09 22:03 DemoCF-g-5686-Index.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4276 2011-07-09 22:03 DemoCF-g-5686-Statistics.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-07-13 03:07 DemoCF-g-5781-Compacted -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 223970446 2011-07-09 22:38 DemoCF-g-5781-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7216 2011-07-09 22:38 DemoCF-g-5781-Filter.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32750 2011-07-09 22:38 DemoCF-g-5781-Index.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4276 2011-07-09 22:38 DemoCF-g-5781-Statistics.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-07-13 03:07 DemoCF-g-5874-Compacted -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 156284248 2011-07-09 23:20 DemoCF-g-5874-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5056 2011-07-09 23:20 DemoCF-g-5874-Filter.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10400 2011-07-09 23:20 DemoCF-g-5874-Index.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4276 2011-07-09 23:20 DemoCF-g-5874-Statistics.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-07-13 03:07 DemoCF-g-6938-Compacted -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22947541446 2011-07-10 11:43 DemoCF-g-6938-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49936 2011-07-10 11:43 DemoCF-g-6938-Filter.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 563550 2011-07-10 11:43 DemoCF-g-6938-Index.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4276 2011-07-10 11:43 DemoCF-g-6938-Statistics.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-07-13 03:07 DemoCF-g-6996-Compacted -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 224253930 2011-07-10 11:28 DemoCF-g-6996-Data.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7216 2011-07-10 11:27 DemoCF-g-6996-Filter.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26250 2011-07-10 11:28 DemoCF-g-6996-Index.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4276 2011-07-10 11:28 DemoCF-g-6996-Statistics.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-07-13 03:07 DemoCF-g-8324-Compacted
