Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2419: --------------------------------------------- What about a new component .metadata for each sstable instead of a footer. I actually think we will have a use for other sstable metadata at some point anyway. For instance we could keep the file format version. That way we wouldn't rely so much on the data file name. > Risk of counter over-count when recovering commit log > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2419 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2419 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Labels: counters > Original Estimate: 8h > Remaining Estimate: 8h > > When a memtable was flush, there is a small delay before the commit log > replay position gets updated.
