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
