Brandon Williams updated CASSANDRA-4146:
----------------------------------------
Reviewer: (was: jbellis)
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.1.0)
1.1.1
I don't think deleting the sstables is the right thing to do, since the loader
didn't create those files, and they are potentially very expensive to recreate.
However, I do understand that the loader not failing, nor being able to give
any indication of failure is a problem, and now that we have CASSANDRA-4051 we
can address that.
> Delete sstables on abnormal termination of sstableloader session
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-4146
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4146
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 1.0.9
> Reporter: Manish Zope
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: sstableloader, tools
> Fix For: 1.1.1
>
> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h
>
> There are three cases where we have observed the abnormal termination
> 1) In case of exception while loading.
> 2) User terminates the loading process.
> 3) If some node is down OR un-reachable then sstableloader get stucked.In
> this case user have to terminate the process in between.
> In case of abnormal termination, sstables (which are added in this session)
> remains as it is on the cluster.In case user starts the process all over
> again by fixing the exception, it results in duplication of the data till
> Major compaction is triggered.
> sstableloader can maintain the session while loading the sstables in
> cluster.So in case of abnormal termination sstableloader triggers the event
> that will delete the sstables loaded in that session.
> Also It would be great to have timeout in case of sstableloader.That can be
> kept configurable.
> So if sstableloader process got stucked for period longer than timeout, it
> can terminate itself.
