Sylvain Lebresne updated CASSANDRA-9618: ---------------------------------------- Attachment: 0001-Deprecate-sstable2json-and-json2sstable.patch Simple patch that adds a warning to the 2 tools and document the deprecation in the changes file. > 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 > > Attachments: 0001-Deprecate-sstable2json-and-json2sstable.patch > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
