cassandra snapshots
Hello all
I have a big col family and I see that cassandra is taking snapshots for it. I do not have incremental enabled. What are the triggers that start the process of taking a snapshot? Is is automatic ?
Thanks

What version of Cassandra are you using? This could be from snapshot
repairs in newer versions of Cassandra.
CASSANDRA-5950<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5950>
Also, check out the snapshot settings, other than incremental, in the .yaml
file. There are several snapshot configurations which could have been set
for your cluster.

Hello Robert,
Neither of those actions were taken on that cf as far as I know. In that cf we only insert historical data. No deletes no drops / truncates.
Thanks

It's automatic if you DROP or TRUNCATE a columnfamily or keyspace.
