Mikhail Stepura commented on CASSANDRA-6418:
--------------------------------------------

{code}    [javac] C:\Users\mishail\workspace\cassandra\src\java\org\apache\cassandra\db\compaction\CompactionManager.java:810: error: cannot find symbol
    [javac]                 cfs.clearSnapshot(snapshotName);
    [javac]                    ^
    [javac]   symbol:   method clearSnapshot(String)
    [javac]   location: variable cfs of type ColumnFamilyStore
{code}

For *getAllKSDirectories*
* {{List<File> snapshotDirs = new ArrayList();}} .It's a raw data type.  You probably meant either {{newArrayList()}} or {{new ArrayList<>()}}
* {{new File(dataDirectory + "/"  + ksName)}} and {{File(dataDirectory + "/"  + ksName + "/" + cfDir)}} - you should use {{org.apache.cassandra.db.Directories.join(String...)}} instead that concatenation.
* I think it would be better to use one of {{File.listFiles}} methods instead of {{File.list()}}

> Snapshots of deleted CFs created via the "auto_snapshot" configuration parameter appear to not be tracked.  The result is that 'nodetool clearsnapshot <keyspace with deleted CFs>' does nothing, and short of manually removing the files from the filesystem, deleted CFs remain indefinitely taking up space.
> I'm not sure if this is intended, but it seems pretty counter-intuitive.  I haven't found any documentation that indicates "auto_snapshots" would be ignored by 'nodetool clearsnapshot'.
