             Summary: Add --hex-key option to nodetool getsstables
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11337
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11337
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: Paulo Motta
            Priority: Minor


Sometimes it's useful to retrieve an sstable from the hex string representation of its key, for instance, when you get an exception like this and you want to find out which sstable owns the faulty key:

{noformat}
java.lang.AssertionError: row DecoratedKey(2769066505137675224, 00040000002e00000800000153441a3ef000) received out of order wrt DecoratedKey(2774747040849866654, 00040000019b0000080000015348847eb200)
{noformat}

In this case,  {noformat}nodetool getsstables ks cf 00040000002e00000800000153441a3ef000{noformat} will only work if {{ks.cf}} has a blob primary key.

It's straightforward to retrieve a {{DecoratedKey}} from the hexstr representation of the key, so we should add a {{--hex-key}} option to allow for that.

{noformat}nodetool getsstables ks cf --hex-key 00040000002e00000800000153441a3ef000{noformat}
