sankalp kohli commented on CASSANDRA-6326:
------------------------------------------
I am not mentioning manifest file used by LCS
The reason I think C* to have a manifest file is because it knows what are the
stables involved in a snapshot. If external tool creates a manifest file by
looking at the snapshot, it will not know whether it is complete or not.
It also solves this problem
"If Cassandra crashes mid way creating a snapshot, I think it will create an
incomplete snapshot."

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: sankalp kohli
> Assignee: sankalp kohli
> Priority: Minor
>
> We should create a manifest file as part of the snapshot which should contain
> all the stables included in the snapshot.
> This will be very important for systems consuming this snapshot as they can
> validate the fact that they got the complete snapshot.
> If Cassandra crashes mid way creating a snapshot, I think it will create an
> incomplete snapshot.
