Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-8928: ---------------------------------------------- FWIW, {{SSTableDowngrader}} would be the most straightforward way to implement CASSANDRA-8110, so I wouldn't rush and close this just because it's 'hard'. And unless I'm misunderstanding the compatibility policy that would naturally follow from our latest release process announcements, CASSANDRA-8110 is something we'll need soon. > Add downgradesstables > --------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8928 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Tools > Reporter: Jeremy Hanna > Priority: Minor > > As mentioned in other places such as CASSANDRA-8047 and in the wild, > sometimes you need to go back.
