> DTCS seems to work well for the typical use case - writing data in perfect time order, compacting recent files, and ignoring older files.
> However, there are "normal" operational actions where DTCS will fall behind and is unlikely to recover.
> An example of this is streaming operations (for example, bootstrap or loading data into a cluster using sstableloader), where lots (tens of thousands) of very small sstables can be created spanning multiple time buckets. In these case, even if max_sstable_age_days is extended to allow the older incoming files to be compacted, the selection logic is likely to re-compact large files with fewer small files over and over, rather than prioritizing selection of max_threshold smallest files to decrease the number of candidate sstables as quickly as possible.
