Norbert Schultz created CASSANDRA-19401:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: nodetool import expects directory
Key: CASSANDRA-19401
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19401
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Norbert Schultz
According to the
[documentation|https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/4.1/cassandra/operating/bulk_loading.html]
the nodetool import should not rely on the folder structure of the imported
sst files:
{quote}
Because the keyspace and table are specified on the command line for nodetool
import, there is not the same requirement as with sstableloader, to have the
SSTables in a specific directory path. When importing snapshots or incremental
backups with nodetool import, the SSTables don’t need to be copied to another
directory.
{quote}
However when importing old cassandra snapshots, we figured out, that sstables
still need to be in a directory called like $KEYSPACE/$TABLENAME files, even
when keyspace and table name are already present as parameters for the nodetool
import call.
Call we used:
{code}
nodetool import --copy-data mykeyspace mytable /full_path_to/test1
{code}
Log:
{code}

SSTableImporter.java:72 - Loading new SSTables for mykeyspace/mytable:

SSTableImporter.java:173 - No new SSTables were found for mykeyspace/mytable
{code}
However, when we move the sstables (.db-Files) to
{{alternative/mykeyspace/mytable}}
and import with
{code}
nodetool import --copy-data mykeyspace mytable
/fullpath/alternative/mykeyspace/mytable
{code}
the import works
