[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-11209) SSTable ancestor leaked reference

Another scenario of this "bug" is that both Live and Used -are- in sync, but the actual size of files in disk is not. Once the node is restarted (indicated by an arrow in the screenshot), everything syncs up.

This leads me to believe that something is not correctly registering new sstables (maybe during repair?).

> We're running a fork of 2.1.13 that adds the TimeWindowCompactionStrategy from [~jjirsa]. We've been running 4 clusters without any issues for many months until a few weeks ago we started scheduling incremental repairs every 24 hours (previously we didn't run any repairs at all).
> Since then we started noticing big discrepancies in the LiveDiskSpaceUsed, TotalDiskSpaceUsed, and actual size of files on disk. The numbers are brought back in sync by restarting the node. We also noticed that when this bug happens there are several ancestors that don't get cleaned up. A restart will queue up a lot of compactions that slowly eat away the ancestors.
> I looked at the code and noticed that we only decrease the LiveTotalDiskUsed metric in the SSTableDeletingTask. Since we have no errors being logged, I'm assuming that for some reason this task is not getting queued up. If I understand correctly this only happens when the reference count for the SStable reaches 0. So this is leading us to believe that something during repairs and/or compactions is causing a reference leak to the ancestor table.
