> make table directory creation lazy

> Key: CASSANDRA-299
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-299
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Assignee: Chris Goffinet
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments:

> checking that each subdir for each table is present on startup -- _every_
> startup -- could be a real pita.
> i think that to support 100k tables (not impossible, in a
> hosted-cassandra-as-a-service scenario) we're going to want to make table dir
> creation lazy.
> then we would want to make scanning for sstables faster by only doing one
> listdir call per datadir, to see which table subdirs are present, and then
> checking only those for sstable files. this would involve some re-org of the
> onstart code.
> (note that we don't want to prune directories if there are no sstables left
> in them, since we'd end up re-creating them at some point anyway; we just
> want to allow the lack of a table subdir to imply the same thing as an empty
> one.)
