[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-2444) An option to disable compaction on startup

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2444?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13022981#comment-13022981 ] 

Stu Hood commented on CASSANDRA-2444:
-------------------------------------

Rather than adding an option for this, I think we should remove the check entirely. If the node needs to compact, it will do so at the first flush, which is more likely to be staggered across the cluster (and if this flush is forced by commitlogs, then AOK).

> We've ran into many times where we do not want compaction to run right away against CFs when booting up a node. I propose we make that an option in the config, so operators do not have to take the penalty of compacting right away, and can return the node as close to working state as possible.
