[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-13142) Upgradesstables cancels compactions unnecessarily

Kurt Greaves commented on CASSANDRA-13142:
------------------------------------------

I've already done all the necessary reconnaissance so will write a patch soon, I think best solution would be to provide a more modular way to specify compaction types to "ignore" in {{CompactionManager.interruptCompactionsForCFs()}}.

> Since at least 1.2 upgradesstables will cancel any compactions bar validations when run. This was originally determined as a non-issue in CASSANDRA-3430 however can be quite annoying (especially with STCS) as a compaction will output the new version anyway. Furthermore, as per CASSANDRA-12243 it also stops things like view builds and I assume secondary index builds as well which is not ideal.
> We should avoid cancelling compactions unnecessarily.
> I'd class this as a very minor bug, should at least be fixed from 3.0, but up for debate. The main negative effect is annoying operators (which I tend to rate pretty highly), but other than that there are no serious consequences.
