Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-4050: ------------------------------------- In fact, it looks like that is simply a bug that has always been present - the new behaviour is no worse than the old, but deleting it is still the correct fix. Good spot. > Unable to remove snapshot files on Windows while original sstables are live > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4050 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4050 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: Windows 7 > Reporter: Jim Newsham > Assignee: Joshua McKenzie > Priority: Minor > Attachments: CASSANDRA-4050_v1.patch > > > I'm using Cassandra 1.0.8, on Windows 7. When I take a snapshot of the > database, I find that I am unable to delete the snapshot directory (i.e., dir > named "{datadir}\{keyspacename}\snapshots\{snapshottag}") while Cassandra is > running: "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it > is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again" [in > Windows Explorer]. If I terminate Cassandra, then I can delete the directory > with no problem. > I expect to be able to move or delete the snapshotted files while Cassandra > is running, as this should not affect the runtime operation of Cassandra. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
