> Currently we check how old the newest data (max timestamp) in an sstable is when we check if it should be compacted.
> If we instead switch to using min timestamp for this we have a pretty clean migration path from STCS/LCS to DTCS.
> My thinking is that before migrating, the user does a major compaction, which creates a huge sstable containing all data, with min timestamp very far back in time, then switching to DTCS, we will have a big sstable that we never compact (ie, min timestamp of this big sstable is before max_sstable_age_days), and all newer data will be after that, and that new data will be properly compacted
> WDYT [~Bj0rn] ?
