Explanation:
Parameter  | 
Description  | 
|---|---|
id  | 
id of the compaction  | 
shard_id  | 
id of the shard the compaction was executed on  | 
keyspace_name  | 
keyspace name that the compaction performed on  | 
columnfamily_name  | 
columnfamily name that the compaction performed on  | 
compaction_type  | 
type of compaction, e.g. major, regular, reshard, cleanup, etc.  | 
started_at  | 
timestamp when the compaction started  | 
compacted_at  | 
timestamp when the compaction completed  | 
bytes_in  | 
SSTable size before the compaction  | 
bytes_out  | 
SSTable size after the compaction  | 
rows_merged  | 
histogram of merged data (takes into account clustering rows, static rows, range tombstones, etc.)  | 
sstables_in  | 
list of sstables that were the input of the compaction  | 
sstables_out  | 
list of sstables that were the output of the compaction (usually one; with ICS/LCS it can be more)  | 
total_tombstone_purge_attempt  | 
total amount of tombstones that were candidates for garbage-collection  | 
total_tombstone_purge_failure_due_to_overlapping_with_memtable  | 
purgeable tombstone which couldn’t be collected because memtable contains possibly shadowed data  | 
total_tombstone_purge_failure_due_to_overlapping_with_uncompacting_sstable  | 
purgeable tombstone which couldn’t be collected because other sstables contains possibly shadowed data  |
