This also does things > like introduce possibly devastating issues from having the same > commitlog/sstable locations. > A good example is updating the sstable activity table, and having that > flushed to commitlogs as an application outside the running C* service. This > may not be on same user (ie root) which than when a postmemtable flusher > after restart attempts to delete it will throw an exception and potentially > kill that thread pool. One that happens commitlogs will cease to get recycled > and will just burn disk space until we run out. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
