> Replace sstable2json and json2sstable
> -------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-7464
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7464
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
> Assignee: Chris Lohfink
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> Both tools are pretty awful. They are primarily meant for debugging (there is
> much more efficient and convenient ways to do import/export data), but their
> output manage to be hard to handle both for humans and for tools (especially
> as soon as you have modern stuff like composites).
> There is value to having tools to export sstable contents into a format that
> is easy to manipulate by human and tools for debugging, small hacks and
> general tinkering, but sstable2json and json2sstable are not that.
> So I propose that we deprecate those tools and consider writing better
> replacements. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with an output format that
> is more aware of modern concepts like composites, UDTs, ....
