Error occurred during disabling auto-compaction

Error message

Error occurred during disabling auto-compaction

What it means

RuntimeException wrapper from DisableAutoCompaction.execute when probe.disableAutoCompaction throws IOException for a keyspace/table. The JMX call to disable autocompaction failed; per-keyspace iteration means some keyspaces may already have succeeded.

Solutions

1. Verify the keyspace/table names exist
2. Check JMX connectivity and retry
3. Re-run for the keyspaces that did not complete
