I did compactions, repairs etc. Now, I see that some files in the data directories of the nodes that were there from day one carry timestamps back from July. There are files containing secondary indexes. But I have deleted a large portion of the data, one would expect that these files must have been rebuilt one or many times. What's happening? I run 0.8.6. Thanks Maxim
