bq. which utilizes the "raw" or "no-human-readable" output option
I see the short flag came in handy! :) This looks good to me, let's see how it
fares in CI:

> Default nodetool tablestats to Human-Readable Output
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-19335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19335
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tool/nodetool
> Reporter: Leo Toff
> Assignee: Leo Toff
> Priority: Low
> Fix For: 5.x
>
> Attachments: c-19335-dtest-bootstraptest-fail.txt,

> *Current Behavior*
> The current implementation of nodetool tablestats in Apache Cassandra outputs
> statistics in a format that is not immediately human-readable. This output
> primarily includes raw byte counts, which require additional calculation or
> conversion to be easily understood by users. This can be inefficient and
> time-consuming, especially for users who frequently monitor these statistics
> for performance tuning or maintenance purposes.
> *Proposed Change*
> We propose that nodetool tablestats should, by default, provide its output in
> a human-readable format. This change would involve converting byte counts
> into more understandable units (KiB, MiB, GiB). The tool could still retain
> the option to display raw data for those who need it, perhaps through a flag
> such as --no-human-readable or --raw.
> *Considerations*
> The change should maintain backward compatibility, ensuring that scripts or
> tools relying on the current output format can continue to function correctly.
> We should provide adequate documentation and examples of both the new default
> output and how to access the raw data format, if needed.
> *Alignment*
> Discussion in the dev mailing list:
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/mlp715kxho5b6f1ql9omlzmmnh4qfby9]
