Summary: sstableloader to stream sstables in a sorted order Key: CASSANDRA-12416 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12416 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Wish Reporter: Zhaojun Zhang Within each sstable, the data is sorted. However, this is not true across multiple sstables. We have a workflow which will create a read-only cluster by bulk loading data from sstables (written by cqlsstablewirter) to cassandra cluster. We don't want to trigger compaction, and the best way to do so is to write data in a sorted order, which requires us to do a global sort across all data sources using an external sort algorithm. If we are able to use sstableloader to load data into clusters in order, we don't need to do such global sort, which will dramatically simply our implementation and code redundancy. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
