Hi, half of free space does not make sense. Imagine your SSTables need 100G space and you have 20G free disk. Compaction won't be able to do its job with 10G.
Half free of total disk makes more sense and is what you need for a major compaction worst case. Thomas From: Peng Xiao [mailto:2535...@qq.com] Sent: Samstag, 30.
