Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-8720:
----------------------------------------------

How would user find the biggest partition in a table consisting of multiple 
SSTables? A user would execute this command for each sstable? Can not we have 
some kind of a "global" execution which would look into every table and the 
biggest partition would be reported? While this command works just fine for a 
single SSTable, if there is a table consisting of 300 SSTables, how it would 
look like?

> Multiple users have requested some sort of tool to help identify wide row 
> keys. They get into a situation where they know a wide row/partition has been 
> inserted and it's causing problems for them but they have no idea what the 
> row key is in order to remove it.  
> Maintaining the widest row key currently encountered and displaying it in 
> cfstats would be one possible approach.
> Another would be an offline tool (possibly an enhancement to sstablekeys) to 
> show the number of columns/bytes per key in each sstable. If a tool to 
> aggregate the information at a CF-level could be provided that would be a 
> bonus, but it shouldn't be too hard to write a script wrapper to aggregate 
> them if not.
