sstableupgrade
--------------

Upgrade the sstables in the given table (or snapshot) to the current version of Cassandra. This process is typically done after a Cassandra version upgrade. This operation will rewrite the sstables in the specified table to match the currently installed version of Cassandra. The sstableupgrade command can also be used to downgrade sstables to a previous version.

The snapshot option will only upgrade the specified snapshot. Upgrading snapshots is required before attempting to restore a snapshot taken in a major version older than the major version Cassandra is currently running. This will replace the files in the given snapshot as well as break any hard links to live sstables.

Cassandra must be stopped before this tool is executed, or unexpected results will occur. Note: the script does not verify that Cassandra is stopped.

Usage
^^^^^
sstableupgrade <options> <keyspace> <table> [snapshot_name]

Rewrite tables to the current Cassandra version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Start with a set of sstables in one version of Cassandra::

    ls -al /tmp/cassandra/data/keyspace1/standard1-9695b790a63211e8a6fb091830ac5256/
    ...

After upgrading the Cassandra version, upgrade the sstables::

    sstableupgrade keyspace1 standard1
    Found 1 sstables that need upgrading.

Rewrite tables to the current Cassandra version, and keep tables in old version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Again, starting with a set of sstables in one version::

Rewrite a snapshot to the current Cassandra version
