Hi Pranay, You only need to upgrade your SSTables when you perform a major Cassandra version upgrade, so you don't need to run it for upgrading in the 3.x.x series. One way to check which storage version your SSTables are using is to look at the SSTables name. It is structured as: <version>-<generation>-<component>.db The version is a string that represents the SSTable storage format version. The version is "mc" in the 3.x.x series.
