Fabien, thanks for the reply. We do have Thrift enabled. From what I can tell, the "Could not retrieve endpoint ranges:" crops up under various circumstances.
>From further reading on sstableloader, it occurred to me that it might be a safer bet to use the JMX StorageService bulkLoad command, considering that the data to import was already on one of the Cassandra nodes, just in an arbitrary directory outside the Cassandra data directories. I was able to get this bulkLoad command to fail with a message that the directory structure did not follow the expected keyspace/table/ pattern. So I created a keyspace directory and then a table directory within that and moved all the files under the table directory. Executed bulkLoad, passing in that directory. It succeeded. Then I went and ran a nodetool refresh on the table in question. Only one problem. If I then went to query the table for, well, anything, nothing came back. And this was after successfully querying the table before and truncating the table just prior to the bulkLoad, so that I knew that only the data coming from the bulkLoad could show up there. Oh, and for good measure, I stopped and started all the nodes too. No luck still. What's puzzling about this is that the bulkLoad silently succeeds, even though it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I haven't bothered yet to check the Cassandra logs.
