cassandra unnecessarily holds file locks on snapshot files
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-4050
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4050
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0.8
Environment: Windows 7
Reporter: Jim Newsham
I'm using Cassandra 1.0.8, on Windows 7. When I take a snapshot of the
database, I find that I am unable to delete the snapshot directory (i.e., dir
named "{datadir}\{keyspacename}\snapshots\{snapshottag}") while Cassandra is
running: "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is
open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again" [in Windows
Explorer]. If I terminate Cassandra, then I can delete the directory with no
problem.
I expect to be able to move or delete the snapshotted files while Cassandra is
running, as this should not affect the runtime operation of Cassandra.
