---------------------------------------
Summary: Add --hex-key option to nodetool getsstables
Key: CASSANDRA-11337
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11337
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Reporter: Paulo Motta
Priority: Minor
Sometimes it's useful to retrieve an sstable from the hex string representation
of its key, for instance, when you get an exception like this and you want to
find out which sstable owns the faulty key:
{noformat}
java.lang.AssertionError: row DecoratedKey(2769066505137675224,
00040000002e00000800000153441a3ef000) received out of order wrt
DecoratedKey(2774747040849866654, 00040000019b0000080000015348847eb200)
{noformat}
In this case, {noformat}nodetool getsstables ks cf
00040000002e00000800000153441a3ef000{noformat} will only work if {{ks.cf}} has
a blob primary key.
It's straightforward to retrieve a {{DecoratedKey}} from the hexstr
representation of the key, so we should add a {{--hex-key}} option to allow for
that.
{noformat}nodetool getsstables ks cf --hex-key
00040000002e00000800000153441a3ef000{noformat}
