Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7232: ------------------------------------- With your just filed CASSANDRA-7555, it seems even more reasonable to have that directory predefined (although offering an override on the command line seems appropriate). A 'start time' makes sense, esp. with long term log retention. Though I am slightly afraid users will misuse it and restore from too late a point. It might be useful to start encoding in the header/tail of the CL segment the min/max timestamp present, so they can be filtered more quickly > Enable live replay of commit logs > --------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7232 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7232 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Tools > Reporter: Patrick McFadin > Assignee: Lyuben Todorov > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0.10 > > Attachments: > 0001-Expose-CommitLog-recover-to-JMX-add-nodetool-cmd-for.patch, > 0001-TRUNK-JMX-and-nodetool-cmd-for-commitlog-replay.patch > > > Replaying commit logs takes a restart but restoring sstables can be an online > operation with refresh.
