Hi everyone,
This is my first question, apologize may I do something wrong.
I have a small Cassandra cluster build upon 3 nodes. Originally born as
2.0.X cluster was upgraded to 2.0.15 then 2.1.13 and finally to 3.0.4
recently 3.0.6. Ubuntu is the OS.
There are few tables that have DateTieredCompactionStrategy and are
suffering of constantly growing SSTable count. I have the feeling this has
something to do with the upgrade however I need some hint on how to debug
this issue.
Tables are created like:
CREATE TABLE <table> (
...
PRIMARY KEY (...)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (...)
AND bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01
AND caching = {'keys': 'ALL', 'rows_per_partition': 'NONE'}
AND comment = ''
AND compaction = {'class':
'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.DateTieredCompactionStrategy',
'max_threshold': '32', 'min_threshold': '4'}
AND compression = {'chunk_length_in_kb': '64', 'class':
'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.LZ4Compressor'}
AND crc_check_chance = 1.0
AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1
AND default_time_to_live = 7776000
AND gc_grace_seconds = 864000
AND max_index_interval = 2048
AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0
AND min_index_interval = 128
AND read_repair_chance = 0.0
AND speculative_retry = '99PERCENTILE';
and this is the "nodetool cfstats" output for that table:
Read Count: 39
Read Latency: 85.03307692307692 ms.

Maximum live cells per slice (last five minutes): 149
Average tombstones per slice (last five minutes): 8.564102564102564
Maximum tombstones per slice (last five minutes): 42
According to the "nodetool compactionhistory <keyspace>.<table>"
the oldest timestamp is "Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:14:23 GMT"
and the most recent one is "Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:15:50 GMT" (THAT IS TODAY)
However the table count is still very high compared to tables that have a
different compaction strategy. If I run a "nodetool compact <table>" the
SSTable count decrease dramatically to a reasonable number.
I read many articles including:
http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/datetieredcompactionstrategy however I can
not really tell if this is an expected behavior.
What concerns me is that I have an high tombstone read count despite those
are insert only tables. Compacting the table make the tombstone issue
disappear. Yes, we are using TTL to expire data after 3 months and I have
not touch the GC grace period.
Looking at the file system I see the very first *-Data.db file that is 15GB
then there are all the other 43 *-Data.db files that are ranging from 50 to
150MB in size.
How can I debug this mis-compaction issue? Any help is much appreciated
