             Summary: Tools for discovering problem/largest partitions
                 Key: CASSANDRA-8195
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8195
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Matt Stump


A very common problem is that a customer will have one or two very hot 
partitions. This could be a result of an unforeseen usage pattern or a problem 
user. Tracking down the offending parition/row currently involves a linear scan 
of the data. 

We should keep stats on the largest N partitions encountered and make those 
visible via nodetool as we do with cfhistograms. A reasonable suggestion for N 
is 10, meaning the top 10 partition keys and their size would be visible. We 
should also probably keep this info as part of the sstable metadata.
