I am in the process of removing native library dependencies from the Cassandra
distribution we package with RHQ. This may impact RHQ 4.8 users as well as your
dev-container. If Cassandra can load the native snappy library, which is the default
compression library, it will use compression on all tables unless explicitly configured
otherwise. We need to make sure compression is disabled on all tables. I have written a
script in <rhq-src>/etc/scripts/rhq48-storage-patch that will temporarily apply a
patch to your storage node so that compression can be turned off on all tables, including
system tables.
Prior to committing/pushing the storage node changes, I reply to this email with
instructions for running the script against your dev-container. The instructions will
require rebuilding your dev-container; however, I have also made changes that allow the
storage data directory to be left intact so you do not have to worry about data loss.
