Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3706: --------------------------------------------- Maybe I misunderstand what 'in sync' meant, but I'm not sure what last_yaml is if we're storing by digest (or why they'd every be the same, in that case.) (also we're backing up 3 different files, not just yaml, but that's not a big deal) > Back up configuration files on startup > -------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3706 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3706 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Tools > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Dave Brosius > Priority: Minor > Labels: lhf > Fix For: 1.1.1 > > Attachments: save_configuration.diff, save_configuration_2.diff, > save_configuration_3.diff, save_configuration_4.diff, > save_configuration_6.diff, save_configuration_7.diff > > > Snapshot can backup user data, but it's also nice to be able to have > known-good configurations saved as well in case of accidental snafus or even > catastrophic loss of a cluster. If we check for changes to cassandra.yaml, > cassandra-env.sh, and maybe log4j-server.properties on startup, we can back > them up to a columnfamily that can then be handled by normal snapshot/backup > procedures. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
