    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8348?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14282184#comment-14282184 ] 

Sachin Janani commented on CASSANDRA-8348:
------------------------------------------

I am taking up this jira.I would like to propose following 2 approaches:
1) To provide ks.cf list in the already available option -cf 
		This approach will take the following types of arguments:

			e.g: nodetool snapshot -cf ks1.cf1 ks2.cf3 ks4.*

			The above command will take snapshot of column family cf1 from keyspace ks1 and cf3 from keyspace ks2 and all column families from keyspace ks4 

		Pros:
			No need to add extra option
			Existing keyspace option will be obsolete
			
		Cons:
			Users may need to change their existing scripts and -cf will no longer support only column family name
			
			
2) To provide separate option to accept keyspace.columnfamily list:
		This approach will add a new option which will take following parameters:

			e.g nodetool -kclist ks1.cf1 ks2.cf2 ks2.cf3 ks4.*
			
                     The above command will take snapshot of column family cf1 from keyspace ks1 and cf3 from keyspace ks2 and all column families from keyspace ks4 
			
		Pros:
			Will support existing option so no need to change existing scripts
			Will help to take snapshot of multiple columnfamily from different keyspace in one go
		Cons:
			Need to add extra option
			
Can anyone please suggest the approach that I should follow or if you have some different approach please let me know.

> Within StorageServiceMBean.java the function takeSnapshot allows for a list of keyspaces to snapshot.  However, the function takeColumnFamilySnapshot only allows for a single ColumnFamily to snapshot.  This should allow for multiple ColumnFamilies within the same Keyspace.
