[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6962) examine shortening path length post-5202

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6962?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13955814#comment-13955814 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6962:
-------------------------------------------

It's actually not clear to me that the benefit of a shorter path length is worth giving up the redundancy that makes it easy to manually toss sstables around.  But manually pushing sstables is a lot less necessary in 2014 than it was 4 years ago...

> Did we give up on this?
> Could we clean up the redundancy a little by moving the ID into the directory name? e.g., ks/cf-uuid/version-generation-component.db
> I'm worried about path length, which is limited on Windows.
> Edit: to give a specific example, for KS foo Table bar we now have
> /var/lib/cassandra/flush/foo/bar-2fbb89709a6911e3b7dc4d7d4e3ca4b4/foo-bar-ka-1-Data.db
> I'm proposing
