Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-4050: -------------------------------------------- No other changes. Depending on where we fall on CASSANDRA-6890 I may want to expand this ticket to cover using SSTableDeletingTasks on snapshot files to work around deleting memory mapped file segments on Windows in order to fix the issue that caused us to go down this path in the first place. I don't like low-level I/O rewrites being under the guise of a Windows snapshot file ticket so I may do some housekeeping here. > Unable to remove snapshot files on Windows while original sstables are live > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4050 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4050 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: Windows 7 > Reporter: Jim Newsham > Assignee: Joshua McKenzie > Priority: Minor > Attachments: CASSANDRA-4050_v1.patch > > > I'm using Cassandra 1.0.8, on Windows 7. When I take a snapshot of the > database, I find that I am unable to delete the snapshot directory (i.e., dir > named "{datadir}\{keyspacename}\snapshots\{snapshottag}") while Cassandra is > running: "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it > is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again" [in > Windows Explorer]. If I terminate Cassandra, then I can delete the directory > with no problem. > I expect to be able to move or delete the snapshotted files while Cassandra > is running, as this should not affect the runtime operation of Cassandra. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
