Ok thank you for your feedback. I'll add these tasks to our daily cassandra
maintenance cronjob. Hopefully this will keep things under controll.

Hi there,<br>
<br>
I&#39;m currently running a 2-node cluster for some small projects that mig=
ht need to scale-up in the future: that&#39;s why we chose Cassandra. The a=
ctual problem is that one of the node&#39;s harddrive usage keeps growing.<=

<br>
For example:<br>
- after a fresh restart ~ 10GB<br>
- after a couple of days running ~ 60GB<br>
<br>
I know that Cassandra uses lots of diskspace but is this still normal? I&#3=
9;m running cassandra 0.8.7<br>
<br>

I run 9 nodes with cassandra 0.7.8 =A0 and we see this same behaviour, but =
we keep it under control by doing the sequence:<br>
<br>
nodetool repair<br>
nodetool compact<br>
nodetool cleanup<br>
<br>
According to the 1.0.x changelog IIRC this disk usage is supposed to be imp=
roved.<span class=3D"HOEnZb"><font color=3D"#888888"><br>
