Hi Anishek, we are currently also thinking about how to do this in the midterm, though we don't have a test setup yet. My idea was do add one additional node to the source cluster but put it in a different DC as far as Cassandra is concerned. Using the network topology replication strategy you'd assign this DC an RF of 1 for each KS. Obviously you probably want to read and write in LOCAL_QUORUM them to not hamper performance and you need more disk space on that machine. But then, I think, you can just take a snapshot there and use sstableloader to load that into your destination cluster. Since I haven't tried this yet, I cannot tell you hoe feasible this is but it would be nice to get some input here if the idea is at least sound :-)
