["Chris Lohfink (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11483?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15270049#comment-15270049 ] 

Chris Lohfink commented on CASSANDRA-11483:
-------------------------------------------

I went down path a little of having old and new output... it gets kinda ugly. To the point it may be less horrible code wise to just make this a new tool. Its already pretty bad with the colors and unicode being either or.

I guess I am more in favor currently of updating the dtests instead. Which would be good anyway to test all the new flags. If thats Ok I can make the dtest patch. If we really want to support the old format (in which I assume would be default), Id rather just see this pushed to 4.0 or whatever version it would be Ok to change the output of the tool.

> sstablemetadata provides quite a bit of useful information but theres a few hiccups I would like to see addressed:
> * Does not use client mode
> * Units are not provided (or anything for that matter). There is data in micros, millis, seconds as durations and timestamps from epoch. But there is no way to tell what one is without a non-trival code dive
> * in general pretty frustrating to parse
