SSTable files question

[Yulian Oifa <oi...@gmail.com>]

Hello to all
I have runed today nodetool compact no specific node.
It created single file ( g-1155) on 18:08
Currently all clients are down therefore no new data is wrotten
However in time of running compact on on other nodes i found that new
SSTables appeared
on this node :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4590359957 Apr 11 18:08 globalIndexes-g-1155-Data.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2416533871 Apr 11 19:57 globalIndexes-g-1241-Data.db

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   50366685 Apr 11 20:38 globalIndexes-g-1322-Data.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   50271529 Apr 11 20:39 globalIndexes-g-1324-Data.db

Where does those files comes from?
Also it takes a plenty of space for some reason.

Thanks and best regards
