If you're deleting often, I recommend running a full compact (after your repair) to free up space and rid yourself of those tombstones once and for all. Repairs without compacts make those SSTables grow and grow. It's amazing how much space a compact clears up.
- coredog64 10y agoI had to delete a shitload of data from Cassandra recently and it required dropping gc_grace_seconds to a very low value in order for the tombstoned records to be dropped during compaction (this was mentioned in the article)
- jjirsa 10y agoFull compactions really shouldn't be needed - if the tombstones are problematic you may be able to data model around it.
