My understanding of CASSANDRA-4110 is that the file name (not the total path
length) has to be = 255 chars long.
On not windows platforms in 1.1.0+ you should be ok with KS + CF names that
combined go up to about 230 chars. Leaving room for the extra few things
Cassandra dds to the SStable
We're working on upgrading from 1.0.12 to 1.1.12. After upgrading a test
node I ran into CASSANDRA-4157 which restricts the max length of CF names
to = 48 characters. It looks like CASSANDRA-4110 will allow us to upgrade
and keep our existing long CF names, but we won't be able to create new CFs
