The four columns to the right of the table name show the timestamp, size of the SSTable before and after compaction, and the number of partitions merged. The notation means {tables:rows}. For example: {1:3, 3:1} means 3 rows were taken from one SSTable (1:3) and 1 row taken from 3 SSTables (3:1) to make the one SSTable in that compaction operation.
