[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-14496) TWCS erroneously disabling
tombstone compactions when unchecked_tombstone_compaction=true
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14496?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Robert Tarrall updated CASSANDRA-14496:
---------------------------------------
Summary: TWCS erroneously disabling tombstone compactions when unchecked_tombstone_compaction=true (was: TWCS erroneously disabling tombstone compactions)
> TWCS erroneously disabling tombstone compactions when unchecked_tombstone_compaction=true
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-14496
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14496
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compaction
> Reporter: Robert Tarrall
> Priority: Minor
>
> This code:
> {code:java}
> this.options = new TimeWindowCompactionStrategyOptions(options);
> if (!options.containsKey(AbstractCompactionStrategy.TOMBSTONE_COMPACTION_INTERVAL_OPTION) && !options.containsKey(AbstractCompactionStrategy.TOMBSTONE_THRESHOLD_OPTION))
> {
> disableTombstoneCompactions = true;
> logger.debug("Disabling tombstone compactions for TWCS");
> }
> else
> logger.debug("Enabling tombstone compactions for TWCS");
> }
> {code}
> ... in TimeWindowCompactionStrategy.java disables tombstone compactions in TWCS if you have not *explicitly* set either tombstone_compaction_interval or tombstone_threshold. Adding 'tombstone_compaction_interval': '86400' to the compaction stanza in a table definition has the (to me unexpected) side effect of enabling tombstone compactions.
> This is surprising and does not appear to be mentioned in the docs.
> I would suggest that tombstone compactions should be run unless these options are both set to 0.
> If the concern is that (as with DTCS in CASSANDRA-9234) we don't want to waste time on tombstone compactions when we expect the tables to eventually be expired away, perhaps we should also check unchecked_tombstone_compaction and still enable tombstone compactions if that's set to true.
> May also make sense to set defaults for interval & threshold to 0 & disable if they're nonzero so that setting non-default values, rather than setting ANY value, is what determines whether tombstone compactions are enabled?
