Hi everyone, CASSANDRA-19800 is currently in the state of ready to be committed. Before that, I want to propose backporting it to 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0.
The ability to notify CQLSSTableWriter user when new sstables are produced is especially useful for Cassandra Analytics and other consumers. The API is more reliable than monitoring the file directory. That being said, I am aware that the patch is an improvement and trunk only. I want to ask for an exemption on backporting the patch for two reasons. It is useful for Cassandra Analytics. The patch is low risk for Cassandra server as it only touches CQLSSTableWriter, which is only used by toolings. - Yifan
