@Active_questions_tagged_scylla_-_Stack_Overflow: ScyllaDB, throttling for compaction
I would like to define throttling for compaction in ScyllaDB, but I did not see this setting in scylla.yaml file. I only saw this option for Apache Cassandra in cassandra.yaml file, see the setting:
Throttles compaction to the given total throughput across the entire
system. The faster you insert data, the faster you need to compact in
order to keep the sstable count down, but in general, setting this to
16 to 32 times the rate you are inserting data is more than sufficient.

Stack Overflow: ScyllaDB, throttling for compaction
@JIST: Do you see the way for throttling of compaction e.g. via different configuration parameters in scylla.yaml file?
NOTE: I would like to migrate cassandra cluster to scylla cluster.
@avi: You can set compaction_static_shares or compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec, both can be updated without restarting the server (just send SIGHUP)
