------------------------------------------
With this
[commit|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/1580/commits/a759f9cb65bbd0a4620bcc7c6442a14e41507dd8]
I've added a raw implementation of an {{--list-orphans}} option which is
traversing all {{data_file_directories}} recursively in a depth of 2 and
listing all paths which are not known to be used for tables.
However, it does correctly list empty keyspace directories and dropped tables,
I have some objections:
# there is a {{system/_paxos_repair_state}} directory (I'm not familiar with)
which is always listed; probably we would need a static exclude list
# nodetool is a tool which is intended to interact with a Cassandra process via
JMX, this feature is interacting primarily with the filesystem
Therefore I don't really like this feature, it feels wrong, I would not unhappy
to revert it.

> When a table is created, dropped and re-created with the same name,
> directories remain within data paths. Operators may be challenged finding out
> which directories belong to existing tables and which may be subject to
> removal. However, the information is available in CQL as well as in MBeans
> via JMX, a convenient access to this information is still missing.
> My proposal is a new nodetool subcommand allowing to list data paths of all
> existing tables.
