[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-14291) Nodetool command to recreate SSTable components

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14291?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17416270#comment-17416270 ] 

Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-14291:
-----------------------------------------------

This should be possible to do completely offline as I just scanned the code fastly but we might need to reshuffle things a little bit here and there. I agree with having this done in a purely offline fashion. I would not merge this with "upgradesstables", upgrading is upgrading ... not rewriting imho, plus I do not think renaming that existing nodetool command is a good idea either, people are used to that one already and that renaming would be quite disruptive. I am not sure what is the policy here about nodetool renaming, I have never encountered that problem before.

> Need a JMX/Nodetool command to recreate components for SSTables without re-writing the data files.
> Possible implementation idea:
> Create a {{nodetool (recreate|regen)component}} command that would enable you to recreate  specific components of an SSTable, and also allow specifying SSTables or columnfamilies.
> I'd say a flag for a list of components and a flag for SSTables with keyspace.columnfamilies as positional arguments would work
> Alternatively this could become part of upgradesstables, but would likely make that command a bit bloated.
> Background:
> In CASSANDRA-11163 we changed it so summaries and bloomfilters were not regenerated or persisted on startup. This means we would rely on compactions/upgrades to regenerate the bloomfilter (or other components) after a configuration change. While this works, it's pretty inefficient on large tables just because you changed the bloomfilter size or summary chunk sizes.
