Piotr Kołaczkowski commented on CASSANDRA-7688: ----------------------------------------------- Fair enough. Just saying describe_splits is pretty bad for the reason it is not possible to set some reasonable default for split size. Some users were already pointing that out in our issue tracker. > Add data sizing to a system table > --------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7688 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7688 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jeremiah Jordan > Fix For: 2.1.3 > > > Currently you can't implement something similar to describe_splits_ex purely > from the a native protocol driver. > https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/JAVA-312 is open to expose easily > getting ownership information to a client in the java-driver. But you still > need the data sizing part to get splits of a given size. We should add the > sizing information to a system table so that native clients can get to it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
