[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-4952) Add blocking force compaction (and anything else) calls to NodeProbe

-------------------------------------------

Hi I'm new to the project and would like to start contributing. Before I try to work on this I just wanted to validate what I think needs to be done.

As I understand it, what is being asked for is a blocking version of forceUserDefinedCompaction. This looks like it involves following what is done in forceUserDefinedCompaction for creating the list of keyspace/column family pairs, using the work done to construct the runnable in submitUserDefined (minus the executor.submit) to create a list of runnables then calling executor.invokeAll with some default timeout. Does this sound about right?

> There are times when I'd like to get feedback about when compactions complete.  For example, if I'm deleting data from cassandra and want to know when it is 100% removed from cassandra (tombstones collected and all).  This is completely trivial to implement based on the existing code (the method called by the non-blocking version returns a future, so you could just wait on that, potentially with a timeout).
