Cool!!!!! I have got the source tagged 2.0.3, applied the patch, recompiled, restarted the node. Clearly now it compacts the groups of 32 L0 sstables into  large ones. I see that it just did one round and created 8Gb sstable from 32 256Mb ones.

Thanks a lot for the patch! I will revert the compaction settings to give it enough resources and let it complete its job to see the end results before I restart the test traffic.

> I have first described the problem here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20589324/cassandra-2-0-3-endless-compactions-with-no-traffic
> I think I have really abused my system with the traffic (mix of reads, heavy updates and some deletes). Now after stopping the traffic I see the compactions that are going on endlessly for over 4 days.
> For a specific CF I have about 4700 sstable data files right now.  The compaction estimates are logged as "[3312, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]". sstable_size_in_mb=256.  3214 files are about 256Mb (+/1 few megs), other files are smaller or much smaller than that. No sstables are larger than 256Mb. What I observe is that LCS picks 32 sstables from L0 and compacts them into 32 sstables of approximately the same size. So, what my system is doing for last 4 days (no traffic at all) is compacting groups of 32 sstables into groups of 32 sstables without any changes. Seems like a bug to me regardless of what did I do to get the system into this state...
