Jonathan Ellis updated CASSANDRA-1791: -------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 0.7.1) 0.8 bumping to 0.8 since we shouldn't mess with tool apis during stable releases > Return name of snapshot directory after creating it > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1791 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1791 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Environment: Debian Squeeze > Reporter: paul cannon > Assignee: Nick Bailey > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: 1791-v2.txt, 1791.txt > > Original Estimate: 4h > Remaining Estimate: 4h > > When making a snapshot, the new directory is created with a timestamp and, > optionally, a user-supplied tag. For the sake of automated snapshot-creating > tools, it would be helpful to know unequivocally what the new snapshot > directory was named (otherwise, the tool must search for a directory similar > what it expects the name to be, which could be both error-prone and maybe > susceptible to attack). > Recommend making takeSnapshot and takeAllSnapshot return a string, which is > the base component of the new snapshot's directory name. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
