             Summary: Make JBOD compaction and flushing more robust
                 Key: CASSANDRA-10419
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10419
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Jonathan Shook

With JBOD and several smaller disks, like SSDs at 1.2 TB or lower, it is possible to run out of space prematurely. With a sufficient ingestion rate, disk selection logic seems to overselect on certain JBOD targets. This causes a premature C* shutdown when there is a significant amount of space left. With DTCS, for example, it should be possible to utilize over 90% of the available space with certain settings. However in the scenario I tested, only about 50% was utilized, before a filesystem full error. (see below). It is likely that this is a scheduling challenge between high rates of ingest and smaller data directories. It would be good to use an anticipatory model if possible to more carefully select compaction targets according to fill rates.

The attached image shows a test with 12 1.2TB JBOD data directories. At the end, the utilizations are:
59GiB, 83GiB, 83GiB, 97GiB, 330GiB, 589GiB, 604GiB, 630GiB, 697GiB, 1.055TiB, 1.083TB, 1092TiB,
