[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-1404) Allow 'nodetool cleanup' to run when disk is more than 50% full

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1404?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12974460#action_12974460 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1404:
-------------------------------------------

That's a reasonable improvement to make; I'd also like to make cleanup operate on one sstable at a time, and _just_ clean out unneeded rows, rather than doing clean + major-compaction-merging.  That way you can continue to rely on minor compactions if that fits your needs.

> Compaction sums the sizes of all ranges to estimate the output size in order to pick a target drive. Anti-compactions directly drop ranges from sstables, and the volume of data dropped can easily be calculated using the SSTable index. Using this knowledge in our estimate in ColumnFamilyStore.getExpectedCompactedFileSize would allow 'nodetool cleanup' to run when less than 50% of disk is available, in the case where ranges are being dropped (post node-move).
