Description

From CASSANDRA-5202 discussion:

Did we give up on this?
Could we clean up the redundancy a little by moving the ID into the directory name? e.g., ks/cf-uuid/version-generation-component.db
I'm worried about path length, which is limited on Windows.
Edit: to give a specific example, for KS foo Table bar we now have
/var/lib/cassandra/flush/foo/bar-2fbb89709a6911e3b7dc4d7d4e3ca4b4/foo-bar-ka-1-Data.db
I'm proposing
/var/lib/cassandra/flush/foo/bar-2fbb89709a6911e3b7dc4d7d4e3ca4b4/ka-1-Data.db
