--------------------------------------
Summary: sstableloader's interface could be improved
Key: CASSANDRA-5297
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5297
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Reporter: Dan Peebles
Priority: Minor
According to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6832285/how-do-you-use-the-cassandra-tool-sstableloader
and other references, it looks like running sstableloader in many cases
necessitates duplicating (a subset of) the destination node's Cassandra install
folder. This is primarily to have the right cassandra.yaml in the right place,
as far as I can see.
It seems like it would be much less of a pain to use the bulk loader if it took
a parameter for where to look for cassandra.yaml (or supported the individual
settings it needed to gossip correctly directly on command line)
The whole business about making a duplicate loopback interface also seems a bit
Byzantine.
Since the command-line tool appears just to be a fairly thin wrapper around
code that is used elsewhere in Cassandra, disentangling it from the standard
Cassandra configuration might be fairly difficult. But then again I'm pretty
clueless so I'd be happy to be corrected.
