Robert Stupp resolved CASSANDRA-8785.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Not a Problem

bq. sstable2json/sstable2json are going to be removed/replaced soon

K, good to know :)

That was the reason why I opened this separate ticket.

> The JSON library used in C* (json-simple 1.1) is quite aged: 1.1 is dated 08/2009 and the newest version 1.1.1 is dated 03/2012.
> That library uses very old Java APIs (e.g. StringBuffer) and has no streaming API. Especially the streaming API should improve json2sstable and sstable2json tools.
> On [this page|http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2013/04/18/minimal-json-parser-for-java/] is some JSON parser performance comparison.
> IMO Jackson feels like a nice alternative.
> /cc [~iamaleksey] v3.0 ok?
