Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-7555:
----------------------------------------
So it seems that C* recycles commitlog segments rather than creating new ones.
So I'm not sure either of the link options are actually viable, perhaps just
the copy option.
> Support copy and link for commitlog archiving without forking the jvm

>
> Right now for commitlog archiving the user specifies a command to run and c*
> forks the jvm to run that command. The most common operations will be either
> copy or link (hard or soft). Since we can do all of these operations without
> forking the jvm, which is very expensive, we should have special cases for
> those.
