> I'm using Cassandra v2.2.6.  If the CF is stored as a symlink in the keyspace directory on disk then StreamReader.createWriter fails because Descriptor.fromFilename is passed the actual path on disk instead of path with the symlink.
> Example:
> /path/to/data/dir/Keyspace/CFName -> /path/to/data/dir/AnotherDisk/CFName
> Descriptor.fromFilename is passed "/path/to/data/dir/AnotherDisk/CFName" instead of "/path/to/data/dir/Keyspace/CFName", then it concludes that the keyspace name is "AnotherDisk" which is erroneous. I've temporarily worked around this by using cfs.keyspace.getName() to get the keyspace name and cfs.name to get the CF name as those are correct.
