Well, I do have a confession to make. It is actually scyllaDB and the latest 
version. As it is (generally) Cassandra compatible I naturally assumed that 
these items were in both applications.

What version of cassandra is this?

Recycling segments was a thing from like 1.1 to 2.2 but really very different 
in modern versions (and cdc / point in time backup mirrors some of the concepts 
around hanging onto segments)

Knowing the version would be super helpful though

Is this … 1.2? 2.0?

I guess it comes from the archive of commitlogs ,just guess~~~

But I think we need the cassandra's  version and commitlog's configuration in 
cassandra.yaml, and commitlog_archiving.properties to determine this.

Hi,

I am not a data person but a Linux admin.  One of our nodes has thousands of

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33554432 Jun 24 15:11 
Recycled-CommitLog-2-67041997483.log

hanging around. Eventually they fill the filesystem. I have searched around and 
can find no mention of these recycled commits.

Can anyone explain what they are for?   Can I purge these in some graceful 
fashion with a service restart, a simple deletion, or a complete drain/restart 
of the node?

Thanks

Marc
