Robert Coli updated CASSANDRA-1856: ----------------------------------- Priority: Trivial (was: Major) > nodetool "snapshot" improvements > -------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1856 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1856 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Tools > Reporter: Robert Coli > Assignee: Jon Hermes > Priority: Trivial > > Summary : "nodetool snapshot" is actually hooked up to the MBean endpoint > takeAllSnapshot. takeAllSnapshot snapshots all CFs in all Keyspaces. > It would be good if "nodetool snapshot" took a mandatory Keyspace argument > and an optional (list of?) CF name(s?), perhaps mapped to "takeSnapshot" > instead of "takeAllSnapshot". > =Rob > PS - > As a side note, I have never been too pleased with the behavior of "nodetool > snapshot" as regards snapshot naming. Most of the time, when someone names > something something specific, it ends up actually named that something, but.. > "nodetool snapshot foobarbaz" > ... does not result in a snapshot at > "/path/to/datadir/Keyspace/snapshots/foobarbaz", the snapshot ends up at > "/p/t/dd/Keyspace/snapshots/<TIMESTAMPLOOKINGTHING>-foobarbaz". > When I asked jbellis about this, he basically said it was to avoid having to > deal with the possibility that the directory might already exist. If you are > mucking about in the snapshot code, you might (or might not!) want to "fix" > this behavior. :D -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
