Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2749:
---------------------------------------------
bq. guess we need to supply a tool to rename sstables files if anyone is on
longer names?
We probably don't need to do anything. I don't think anyone is really using
names long enough for them to it the file system limit, the goal of limiting
the names is just so to prevent this from happening but there will be no other
assumption that the names are short from the code.
I also don't think anything will prevent rolling upgrades, do you had something
in mind?
Note: I have a long flight ahead of me so I plan to update my last patch with
both those changes, as I still like the moving of all the directories handling
in a dedicated class, even if we don't support both layout.

> Currently Cassandra supports multiple data directories but no way to control

> Postgresql does this with tablespaces

> should probably avoid using that name because of confusing similarity to
> "keyspaces."
