Imbalanced storage distribution over JBOD devices
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

In the RESTBase Cassandra cluster, data distributed over the JBOD devices, isn't always very balanced (some are more imbalanced than others). For example:

Much has changed since this issue was originally opened, most significantly, we no longer make use of wide rows. I suspect that what appeared to be an imbalance in placement was actually the result of the distribution of row sizes.

I propose we close this.
