[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-2386) sstable2json does not work on snapshot without moving the files

["Patricio Echague (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2386?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13046297#comment-13046297 ] 

Patricio Echague commented on CASSANDRA-2386:
---------------------------------------------

The cause of this failure is that 
{code} Descriptor.java {code}
{code}
    public static Pair<Descriptor,String> fromFilename(File directory, String name)
    {
        // name of parent directory is keyspace name
        String ksname = directory.getName();
{code}

For a snapshot path like this:
{code}/var/lib/cassandra/data/Keyspace1/snapshots/1307575216104{code}

produces an output: ksname == 1307575216104 (which is wrong).
It should be "Keyspace1"

> sstable2json seem to think that the foldername "1301066898131-mysnapshot" is the Keyspace name.
> Moving the *.db files to a folder with the same name as the Keyspace is a workaround.
