Description

We have a table which has time series data with Stripe Compaction enabled. After encryption has been enabled for this table the newer entries are encrypted and inserted. However to encrypt the existing data in the table, a major compaction has to run. Since, stripe compaction doesn't allow a major compaction to run, we are unable to encrypt the previous data.
