Sammy Yu commented on CASSANDRA-279:
------------------------------------
I will add support for Windows NT 6.0and later based kernel otherwise it will
throw an IOException on other older Windows based systems. Unless there is a
big demand maybe we can bundle something like junction.exe barring any
licensing issue.
> finish snapshot support

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-279
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature

> searching for "snapshot" in *.java shows a bunch of code for supporting
> snapshots via hard links.
> (this works b/c SSTables are immutable, once created.)
> this used to be more complete but when we dropped the JDK7 requirement we
> just removed the code that we couldn't do in JDK6 and hard link support was
> one of those.
> So what you would need to do here is:
> * create a hard link method (using Runtime.exec("ln") on linux / os x I
> imagine)
> * add a JMX hook to invoke this on the data files (this is where looking at
> the old codebase might help); ColumnFamilyStoreMBean.forceFlush is an example
> of an "Action" jmx interface. using jconsole to interact with JMX stuff is
> explained here: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/MemtableThresholds
> * add something to list the snapshots available via JMX
> * optionally make this all per-Table instead of per-database
