After bootstrapping a node, the node repeatedly compacts the same tables over and over, even though my cluster is completely idle. I’ve noticed the same behavior after extended periods of heavy writes. I realize that during bootstrapping (or extended periods of heavy writes) that compaction could get seriously behind, but once a table has been compacted, I don’t see the need to recompact the table dozens of more times.
Possibly related, I often see that OpsCenter reports that nodes have a large number of pending tasks, when Pending column of the Thread Pool Stats doesn’t reflect that. Robert
