Jeremy Hanna reopened CASSANDRA-4392:
-------------------------------------


I didn't know about that particular property but like Vijay said, it doesn't completely cover what this would provide - the ability to not only limit the time, but also selectively skip mutations.

> To enable a case of point in time recovery not currently handled by cassandra, it would be great to have a way to convert a commit log into a series of readable CQL statements.
> Currently one is able to do recovery up to current sstables, or with CASSANDRA-3690, additionally apply the current commit logs in their entirety.  The one missing case is to say that I want to recover to a point in time before I did stupid/damaging operation X.  That needs visibility into the commit logs.
> I thought the simplest way to do this would be to have a tool that converts commit logs into readable CQL statements so they could be selectively applied.
