--------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> sstabledump should not use tool initialization
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-13683
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13683
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Chris Lohfink
> Assignee: Chris Lohfink
>
> The tool initialization is not necessary for the sstabledump utility and by
> using it we possibly introduce a unnecessary requirement of being on the same
> C* instance (since we may introduce changes that require it, UDT changes can
> lead to dangerous assumptions) that has the schema. This also does things
> like introduce possibly devastating issues from having the same
> commitlog/sstable locations.
> A good example is updating the sstable activity table, and having that
> flushed to commitlogs as an application outside the running C* service. This
> may not be on same user (ie root) which than when a postmemtable flusher
> after restart attempts to delete it will throw an exception and potentially
> kill that thread pool. One that happens commitlogs will cease to get recycled
> and will just burn disk space until we run out.
