-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow sstable2json to dump SecondaryIndex SSTables
                 Key: CASSANDRA-5694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5694
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: Michał Michalski
            Assignee: Michał Michalski
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: sstable2json-for-2i.txt

When investigating some 2I problems I had, I was pretty disappointed that sstable2json does not allow me to dump SecondaryIndex, saying that "The provided column family is not part of this cassandra database: keyspace = testks, column family = testcf.testcf_col_idx".

I'm attaching patch that fixes given problem by changing a bit the way that sst2j "validates" the input file. My only concern is that this solution uses StorageService for "validation", so it's a bit heavier than it should, as it has to set everything up.
