> From what I can tell SSTableWriter.cleanupIfNecessary seems increasingly costly as the number of files in the data dir increases.
> It calls SSTable.componentsFor(descriptor, Descriptor.TempState.TEMP) which lists all files in the data dir to find matching components.
> Am I roughly correct that   (cleanupCost = SSTable count * data dir size)?
> We had been doing write load testing with default compaction throttling (16MB/s) and LeveledCompaction.
> Unfortunately we haven't been keeping tabs on sstable counts and it grew out of control.
> On a system with 300,000 sstables (!) here is an example of our compaction rate.  Note that as you're probably aware cleanupIfNecessary is included in the timing:

Time: 388,623ms.
> This is with compaction throttling set to 0 (Off).
> So I believe because of this it's going to take a very long time to recover from having so many small sstables. 
> It might be notable that we're using Solaris 10, possibly listFiles() is faster on other platforms?
> Is it feasible to keep track of the temp files and just delete them rather than searching for them for each SSTable using SSTable.componentsFor()?
