If you want to copy a portion of the data to another table, you can also
use sstable cql writer. It is more of an advanced feature and can be
tricky, but doable.
once you write the new sstables, you can then use the sstableloader to
stream the new data into the new table.
check this out:
https://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/using-the-cassandra-bulk-loader-updated
I have recently used this to clean up 500 GB worth of sstable data in
order to purge tombstones that were mistakenly generated by the client.
obviously this is not as fast as hardlinks + refresh, but it's much faster
and more efficient than using cql to copy data accross the tables.
take advantage of CQLSSTableWriter.builder.sorted() if you can, and
utilize writetime if you have to.

Re: copy from one table to another
Any issues if we:
1) create an new empty table with the same structure as the old one
2) create hardlinks ("ln without -s"):
.../<newtable>-<newuuid>/<newkeyspacename>-<newtable>-* --->
.../<oldtable>-<olduuid>/<oldkeyspacename>-<oldtable>-*
3) run nodetool refresh -- newkeyspacename newtable
and then query/modify both tables independently/simultaneously?
In theory, as SSTables are immutable, this should work, but could there be
some hidden issues?
Regards,
Kyrill

You can copy hardlinks to ALL SSTables from old to new table and then
delete part of data you do not need in a new one.

If it for testing and you don’t need any specific data, just copy a set of
sstables with all files of that sequence and move to target tables
directory and rename it.
Restart target node or run nodetool refresh

Is there any way to copy some part of a table to another table in
cassandra? A large amount of data should be copied so i don't want to
fetch data to client and stream it back to cassandra using cql.
