[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7255) Rename nodetool cleanup

["Brandon Williams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7255?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14002000#comment-14002000 ] 

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-7255:
---------------------------------------------

I'm not sure this is going to help anything: stupid is as stupid does.  'trim' in particular doesn't seem any clearer, and 'cleanranges' requires cassandra knowledge that would prevent this problem to begin with.

> A lot of cassandra users seem to think nodetool cleanup does all kinds of things that it doesn't.   For example, you'll find a lot of quotes like this in IRC and on the mailing list:
> bq. you need to run 'nodetool cleanup' to make sure all tombstones are deleted
> Renaming it to something clearer could help cut down on the confusion.  Perhaps "nodetool cleanranges" or "nodetool trim".
