Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3564: --------------------------------------------- bq. makes sense, will add a 10 min wait period, still what should be the default setting? flush everything or just the non durable tables? Let's go ahead and flush everything, since startup time is an existing complaint, and maybe I'm in the minority with preferring quick shutdown :) As long as there's a way to change it, that's fine. > flush before shutdown so restart is faster > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-3564 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3564 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Packaging > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: David Alves > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2 > > Attachments: 3564.patch, 3564.patch > > > Cassandra handles flush in its shutdown hook for durable_writes=false CFs > (otherwise we're *guaranteed* to lose data) but leaves it up to the operator > otherwise. I'd rather leave it that way to offer these semantics: > - cassandra stop = shutdown nicely [explicit flush, then kill -int] > - kill -INT = shutdown faster but don't lose any updates [current behavior] > - kill -KILL = lose most recent writes unless durable_writes=true and batch > commits are on [also current behavior] > But if it's not reasonable to use nodetool from the init script then I guess > we can just make the shutdown hook flush everything. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
