Thanks for the responses Lerh and Kurt! Lerh - We had been considering those particular nodetool commands but were hesitant to perform them on a production node without either testing adequately in a dev environment or getting some feedback from someone who knew what they were doing (such as yourself), so thank you for that! Your point about the blacklist makes complete sense. So I think we'll probably end up running those after the node finishes streaming and we confirm that the blacklist is not improving latency. Just out of curiosity, do you have any experience with sstableofflinerelevel? Is this something that would be helpful to run with any kind of regularity?
Kurt - We're on 3.7, and our approach was to try thorttling compaction throughput as much as possible rather than the opposite. I had found some resources that suggested unthrottling to let it get it over with, but wasn't sure if this would really help in our situation since the I/O pipe was already fully saturated.
