Anubhav Kale commented on CASSANDRA-10907: ------------------------------------------ For point in time backups, its always somewhat unpredictable what data is backed up especially with replication on. The concern here is the unnecessary time and resources spent in a blocking flush when its not really required. I have provided a patch. Its possible to provide overrides at other places, I took a stab at providing those on KS and CF and did the wiring. If you prefer some other approach, let me know. > Nodetool snapshot should provide an option to skip flushing > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-10907 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10907 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Configuration > Environment: PROD > Reporter: Anubhav Kale > Priority: Minor > Labels: lhf > > For some practical scenarios, it doesn't matter if the data is flushed to > disk before taking a snapshot. However, it's better to save some flushing > time to make snapshot process quick. > As such, it will be a good idea to provide this option to snapshot command. > The wiring from nodetool to MBean to VerbHandler should be easy. > I can provide a patch if this makes sense. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
