Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-7159:
---------------------------------------------

bq. And they have List<ByteBuffer> type. Am I right that we need to deserialize 
it and print in comfortable format?

Yes, and you can use the comparator of the table this is a sstable of to do 
that.

bq. Could you advise what is a purpose of min/max tokens and where they stored?

They are actually stored in the Summary file, we're talking about the {{first}} 
and {{last}} field of the {{SSTable}} class (which is are mainly used in the 
{{SSTableReader}} class in fact). They are useful to know the range of 
partitions ("thrift row" for the grandpa out there) contained in the sstable.

> sstablemetadata command should print some more stuff

> It would be nice if the sstablemetadata command printed out some more of the 
> stuff we track.  Like the Min/Max column names and the min/max token in the 
> file.
