SSTable generation numbers

2016-06-27 Thread Rajath Subramanyam
Hello Cassandra-dev,

Are there any scenarios in which the generation numbers of SSTables (i.e.
ksname-cfname--Data.db) can wrap around, without the admin
dropping and re-creating the CF with the same name ?

I believe that the answer must be version-agnostic, but in case it matters,
I am specifically asking this question for C* 2.0/2.1.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I haven't played with snap at all, yet, so maybe Evan could elaborate,
but building your own snapshots appears to be pretty straightforward.
I'm not sure about hosting your own snap service, but I assume would be
the way to go for customized deployments.

Yep, not a unique name choice, and this is blocking snapd transition to
Debian testing:  https://bugs.debian.org/826884

How would I deploy a cluster with Snap?

With the package I can pre-deploy my configuration to the node with cluster
name, seeds, etc.  With Snap do I have to build a custom container to do
that?  Or is there some way to pull in config from the host machine or a
config server?

Aside: there's at 3 other reasonably popular projects called Snap; makes it
hard to Google.

It's an LXD container delivery system.
