Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-4763:
---------------------------------------------
bq. we require sstable files to be named according to the convention cassandra
is using?
We do, and so there is no need for the user to provide the keyspace name as
argument to the loader. That being said, we can lift the limitation that
sstables currently must be in a directory named after the keyspace (I think we
all agree here, just wanted to clarify).
> SSTableLoader shouldn't get keyspace from path

> Key: CASSANDRA-4763
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4763
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0 beta 1
> Reporter: Nick Bailey
> Priority: Minor
>
> SSTableLoader currently gets the keyspace it is going to load to from the
> path of the directoy of sstables it is loading. This isn't really documented
> (or I didn't see it), but also isn't really a good way of doing it in general.

> this.keyspace = directory.getParentFile().getName();

> We should probably just let users pass the name in. If you are loading a
> snapshot the file names will have the keyspace which is slightly better but
> people manually creating their own sstables might not format them the same.
