This might be an interesting question - but is there a way to truncate data from just a single node or two as a test instead of truncating from the entire cluster? We have time series data we don't really care if we're missing gaps in, but it's taking up a huge amount of space and we're looking to clear some. I'm worried if we run a truncate on this huge CF it'll end up locking up the cluster, but I don't care so much if it just kills a single node.
Is doing something like deleting SSTables from disk possible? If I alter this keyspace from an RF of 2 down to 1 and then delete them, they won't be able to be repaired if I'm thinking this through right. Thanks!
