@Some_Random_Guy: I want to provide local snapshots of our data for the developers, what’s the best way to go about this?
@avi: nodetool snapshot
and copy the snapshot directories
@Some_Random_Guy: I thought you had to restore the schema and copy the data to the newly created directories?
cuz they are table_name-uuid
did i misunderstand something?
@avi: You can create the tables with CQL, and copy the data to the /upload directory of the new tables, then nodetool refresh
@Some_Random_Guy: ok, ill look into this, thanks
