-------------------------------------

Hi, [~pauloricardomg].
Thank you so much, just fixed format error and added ccm and StandaloneUpgrader 
to the proposal, I didn't realize that dtest runs on ccm. I'll check them out.

Regarding {{OldFormatIterator}} and {{OldFormatDeserializer}}, I am trying to 
find them on Git repository but I didn't find anything, maybe after setting up 
the development environment I can decompile them. Also, can I use openJDK (7) 
instead of Oracle JDK? Because I'm trying to setting up Cassandra (trunk) with 
IDEA according to 
[RunningCassandraInIDEA|http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/RunningCassandraInIDEA|http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/RunningCassandraInIDEA]
 but it gives me a build failed error when I execute {{ant 
generate-idea-files}}.
{code}
build-project:
     [echo] apache-cassandra: /home/km/cassandra/build.xml
    [javac] Compiling 45 source files to /home/km/cassandra/build/classes/thrift
    [javac] javac: invalid target release: 1.8
    [javac] Usage: javac <options> <source files>
    [javac] use -help for a list of possible options

BUILD FAILED
/home/km/cassandra/build.xml:769: Compile failed; see the compiler error output 
for details.
{code}

I'll try it again, once I have it setted up, I'll take a look  along with other 
materials [CASSANDRA-8888|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8888] 
which seems more suitable to start with.

> As mentioned in other places such as CASSANDRA-8047 and in the wild, 
> sometimes you need to go back.  A downgrade sstables utility would be nice 
> for a lot of reasons and I don't know that supporting going back to the 
> previous major version format would be too much code since we already support 
> reading the previous version.
