Hi Paul, Agh, I don't have any experience with sstableofflinerelevel. Maybe Kurt does, sorry.
Also, if it wasn't obvious, to add back the node to the cluster once it is done would be the 3 commands, with enable substituted for disable. It feels like it will take some time to get through all the compactions, likely more than the hinted handoff window, so do make sure you are querying Cassandra with strong consistency after you rejoin the node. Good luck!
