Commit log archive configuration
Cassandra provides commitlog archiving and point-in-time recovery.
Cassandra provides commitlog archiving and point-in-time recovery. You configure this feature in the commitlog_archiving.properties configuration file, which is located in the following directories:
- Cassandra Packaged installs: /etc/cassandra/conf
- Cassandra Binary installs: <install_location>/conf
- DataStax Enterprise Packaged installs: /etc/dse/cassandra
- DataStax Enterprise Binary installs: <install_location>/resources/cassandra/conf
The commands archive_command and restore_command expect only a single command with arguments. The parameters must be entered verbatim. STDOUT and STDIN or multiple commands cannot be executed. To workaround, you can script multiple commands and add a pointer to this file. To disable a command, leave it blank.
