title: Compactions in cassandra
body: <p>I was trying to make a configuration change in <code>cassandra-env.sh</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>For the change to be effective I have to bounce my cassandra nodes. But the nodes I want to bounce are running compactions.</p>
  
  <p>So what will happen to these pending tasks if I bounce my nodes when the compactions are in progress?</p>
