Hello, I am inserting about 100 million entries via datastax-java driver to a cassandra cluster of 3 nodes.
Table structure is as create keyspace test with replication = {'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'DC' : 3}; CREATE TABLE test_bits(id bigint primary key , some_bits text) with gc_grace_seconds=0 and compaction = {'class': 'LeveledCompactionStrategy'} and compression={'sstable_compression' : ''}; have 75 threads that are inserting data into the above table with each thread having non over lapping keys. I see that the number of pending tasks via "nodetool compactionstats" keeps increasing and looks like from "nodetool cfstats test.test_bits" has SSTTable levels as [154/4, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], Why is compaction not kicking in ? thanks anishek
