Sylvain Lebresne created CASSANDRA-9618:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: Consider deprecating sstable2json/json2sstable in 2.2
Key: CASSANDRA-9618
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9618
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
Fix For: 2.2.0 rc2
The rational is explained in CASSANDRA-7464 but to rephrase a bit:
* json2sstable is pretty much useless, {{CQLSSTableWriter}} is way more
flexible if you need to write sstable directly.
* sstable2json is really only potentially useful for debugging, but it's pretty
bad at that (it's output is not really all that helpul in modern Cassandra in
particular).
Now, it happens that updating those tool for CASSANDRA-8099, while possible, is
a bit involved. So I don't think it make sense to invest effort in maintain
these tools. So I propose to deprecate these in 2.2 with removal in 3.0.
I'll note that having a tool to help debugging sstable can be useful, but I
propose to add a tool for that purpose with CASSANDRA-7464.
