restore not working.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/cassandra-snapshotter", line 11, in sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cassandra_snapshotter/main.py", line 284, in main restore_backup(args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cassandra_snapshotter/main.py", line 110, in restore_backup args.s3_bucket_name TypeError: init() takes exactly 6 arguments (5 given)

this is what i get when i execute sudo cassandra-snapshotter --s3-bucket-name=bucket --s3-base-path=cassandra --aws-access-key-id=XXXX --aws-secret-access-key=XXXX restore --keyspace oneg --target-hosts 172.31.54.113

EXTRA INFO: i install using pip install cassandra_snapshotter

you need to specify the task you want to execute (eg. backup)

[siddhu07]

i need to restore it. And i gave restore. even list is working fine for me.

[tbarbugli]

sorry I missed that, restore is not really supported by the tool. There is some code and support for backup restoration but some fiddling with the code is required.

[siddhu07]

if cassandra snapshotter does not support, is there any other way to restore the data?. and can you update me, once the code is done?

"restore is not really supported by the tool" Why use this tool then? Doesn't it make a lot more sense to do a FS-level snapshot? (asuming your data cassandra directory is on a separate volume, which it should be for any database)

im getting the same issue with the restore command, i understand this is still a work in progress, any idea of when this command cant at least grab the files from s3, so we can manually restore from that point?
