When we load or insert huge number of rows in a table, OPS center shows that compaction has been triggered, it starts several compactions. My guess is that those are minor compactions triggered based on the min_threshold set on the table. Is my understanding correct. From OPS center is it possible to distinguish a minor compaction from a major one.
Is it possible to distinguish a minor from major compaction in OpsCenter?
A minor compaction is triggered automatically by the compaction strategy based on thresholds and compaction sub-properties.
In contrast, a major compaction is one that an operator/administrator has manually triggered either with nodetool compact, JMX or OpsCenter.
From a compaction statistics perspective, both minor and major compactions look identical. Only compactions triggered by repairs or SSTable upgrades will be reported with a different compaction type and will be distinguishable. Cheers!
