> Some cassandra users use sstable2json and sstablekeys to check -Data and -Index files for integrity.  For example, if compaction fails, you can find out which files are causing the compaction to fail because they're corrupt.  One type of corruption that can happen in both -Data and -Index files are keys getting out of order.  (This shouldn't happen, but it can)  Cassandra catches this error during compaction, but both tools didn't catch it.  
> This small patch simply causes an IO Exception during export if it finds out of order keys.  
> Some further work on it may make this optional with a command-line switch - it may be useful to export the data to json even though it's out of order to manually play it back, or have another script re-order it.
