More of it, Cassandra 0.8.6 still leaves all commit logs under Windows.

If i do nodetool drain before killing node nodetool returns just after flush and stuff disabling is finished on cassandra node. But flush can trigger possible compaction and if you kill node after drain it will interrupt compaction in progress resulting in wasted disk space. I am not sure if tmp files are cleaned on cassandra start.
