Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-2749: -------------------------------------------- Tested v4 on trunk and I see few test failures - LegacySSTableTest and ColumnFamilyStoreTest, it is related to how you determine what placement style is used for a given SSTable, feels like !DatabaseDescriptor.useSeparateCFDirectories() condition is insufficient. Also I think it would be correct to rename "one_directory_per_column_family" option to "use_separate_column_family_directories" with comment like "Useful when you have disks with different speeds (HDD/SSD) and you want explicitly distribute Column Families between them". > fine-grained control over data directories > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-2749 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2749 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Marcus Eriksson > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1 > > Attachments: > 0001-Make-it-possible-to-put-column-families-in-subdirect.patch, > 2749_backwards_compatible_v1.patch, 2749_backwards_compatible_v2.patch, > 2749_backwards_compatible_v3.patch, 2749_backwards_compatible_v4.patch, > 2749_backwards_compatible_v4_rebase1.patch > > > Currently Cassandra supports multiple data directories but no way to control > what sstables are placed where. Particularly for systems with mixed SSDs and > rotational disks, it would be nice to pin frequently accessed columnfamilies > to the SSDs. > Postgresql does this with tablespaces > (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/manage-ag-tablespaces.html) but we > should probably avoid using that name because of confusing similarity to > "keyspaces." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
