Thank you Dipan.
Do you know if there is a good reason for Cassandra to let tables folder
even when there is no snapshot?
I'm thinking of use cases where there is the need to create and delete
small tables at a high rate. You could quickly end with more than 65K
(limit of ext4) subdirectories in the KS directory, while 99.9.. % of them
are residual of deleted tables.
That looks quite dirty from Cassandra to not clean its own "garbage" by
itself, and quite dangerous for the end user to have to do it alone, don't
you think so?
Thanks,
Sébastien.
