Philip Thompson updated CASSANDRA-8766:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Joshua McKenzie
> SSTableRewriter opens all sstables as early before completing the compaction
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-8766
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8766
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Benedict
> Assignee: Joshua McKenzie
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.5
>
>
> In CASSANDRA-8320, we made the rewriter call switchWriter() inside of
> finish(); in CASSANDRA-8124 was made switchWriter() open its data as EARLY.
> This combination means we no longer honour disabling of early opening, which
> is potentially a problem on windows for the deletion of the contents (which
> is why we disable early opening on Windows).
> I've commented on CASSANDRA-8124, as I suspect I'm missing something about
> this. Although I have no doubt the old behaviour of opening as TMP file
> reduced the window for problems, and opening as TMPLINK now does the same,
> it's not entirely clear to me its the right fix (though it may be) since we
> shouldn't be susceptible to this window anyway? Either way, we perhaps need
> to come up with something else, because this could potentially break windows
> support. Perhaps if we simply did not swap in the TMPLINK file so that it
> never actually get mapped, it would perhaps be enough. [~JoshuaMcKenzie],
> WDYT?
