Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-4763:
---------------------------------------------
Just to add context, this was done initially because it was pretty hard to do
otherwise due to the hard-coded way sstables names were parsed. This was
changed in 1.1 however, so we should be able to do that easily now.
> SSTableLoader shouldn't get keyspace from path

> Key: CASSANDRA-4763
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4763
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0 beta 1
> Reporter: Nick Bailey
> Priority: Minor
>
> SSTableLoader currently gets the keyspace it is going to load to from the
> path of the directoy of sstables it is loading. This isn't really documented
> (or I didn't see it), but also isn't really a good way of doing it in general.
> {noformat}
> this.keyspace = directory.getParentFile().getName();
> {noformat}
> We should probably just let users pass the name in. If you are loading a
> snapshot the file names will have the keyspace which is slightly better but
> people manually creating their own sstables might not format them the same.
