Thanks! So far so good.... I've tweaked index_summary_resize_interval_in_minutes from 60 to -1, and restarted and I'm continuing to see: ..... CompactionController.java:153 - Dropping expired SSTable .... debug messages(*) after more than an hour after the restart. I'll know better as time goes by....
