[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-4809) Allow restoring specific column families from archived commitlog

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4809?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13788015#comment-13788015 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The patch works as intended. To specify a particular ks/cf to be archived we need to add parameters when starting cassandra.

{code}
./cassandra -Dcassandra.readKeyspaceCommitlog=exampleKS -Dcassandra.readColumnFamilyCommitlog=exampleCF
{code}

Maybe it would be a better option to add restore_keyspace and restore_columnfamily config options to commitlog_archiving.properties. If the original setup is preferable I'll rebase the patch (it doesn't apply cleanly because of other changes on the branch).

The last thing I want to change is: The patch assumes that users will want to replay only part of the commitlog, we should still allow them to replay the entire log if the ks/cf parameters aren't supplied.

> Currently you can only restore the entire contents of a commit log archive. It would be useful to specify the keyspaces/column families you want to restore from an archived commitlog.
