Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-1856:
----------------------------------------
Also, although the mbean allows keyspace specific snapshotting, nodetool does
not, so that could be addressed as well.
> nodetool "snapshot" improvements

> Key: CASSANDRA-1856
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1856
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Robert Coli
> Assignee: Jon Hermes
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Summary : "nodetool snapshot" is actually hooked up to the MBean endpoint
> takeAllSnapshot. takeAllSnapshot snapshots all CFs in all Keyspaces.
> It would be good if "nodetool snapshot" took a mandatory Keyspace argument
> and an optional (list of?) CF name(s?), perhaps mapped to "takeSnapshot"
> instead of "takeAllSnapshot".

> PS -
> As a side note, I have never been too pleased with the behavior of "nodetool
> snapshot" as regards snapshot naming. Most of the time, when someone names
> something something specific, it ends up actually named that something, but..
> "nodetool snapshot foobarbaz"
> ... does not result in a snapshot at
> "/path/to/datadir/Keyspace/snapshots/foobarbaz", the snapshot ends up at
> "/p/t/dd/Keyspace/snapshots/<TIMESTAMPLOOKINGTHING>-foobarbaz".
> When I asked jbellis about this, he basically said it was to avoid having to
> deal with the possibility that the directory might already exist. If you are
> mucking about in the snapshot code, you might (or might not!) want to "fix"
> this behavior. :D
