>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1596
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> Using a somewhat old (few months) trunk running tests, I had a compaction failure due to the 2 TB file size limit on ext3fs. The tmp file was left behind, after which further compaction proceeded.
> This can be detrimental in particular because disk space requirements can increase, having additional partially written but abandoned compacted sstables around.
> Stack trace with code path included below.
> I can imagine that for debugging purposes there would be cases where you do not want a compaction to immediately remove the temp file. On the other hand, compaction failures would presumably be caused by the input most of the time, rather than the output. So the extra effort of having to patch cassandra to avoid the removal does not seem like a critical issue. Maybe one can provide a JMX tunable to turn off removal if this is a concern. Thoughts?
