Hi Ben, the scenario that I was trying to test was all sstables (deleted) from one node. So I did what you suggested (rebuild the sstables from other replicas in the cluster) and it rebuilt the sstables successfully.
I think the reason that I didn't see the sstables rebuilt earlier on was because I didn't use the -full option of the "nodetool rebuild". Thanks!
